" And as to the Cases, I chose rather to present them as rudely as taken, with the particular times of Debate, and such number Rolls thereof as I then had, than, by a more methodical digestion, to obscure the truth and certainty of the matter. And, on consideration of the various accidents that happen from the beginning to the end of a case, I know no better way to express it." So it appears that the Reports are the rough published notes, without being pruned or elaborated ; which have occasionally been cited with approbation, but more generally condemned. Mr. Chance remarks, that " in former times, Keble's Reports were forbidden to be quoted, and it is to be regretted that any reference is ever made to them ;" and Sir E. Sugden, in commenting upon the Case of Briers v. BouUoh, says, " like most of the Cases in the same Reporter, it is scarcely pos- sible to comprehend it." Park, J., after hearing Lord Kenyon's censures upon Keble's Reports, upon returning home burned his copy, not think- ing it worth while to keep a refuse book in his library. Lord Campbell calls Keble " a drowsy Serjeant, known only for some bad Law Reports." Pref. to the Reports; Sugden on Powers, 456 ; Chance on Powers, § 1219 ; 3 Camp. Lives, 43 ; 1 Wood.

This volume consists principally of decisions not elsewhere to be found, and the author seems to have been the first collector of Cases who gave his labours the name of Reports. They were not published till after Keilwey's death, and are only selections from the author's MSS. made 434
