(_Suggestions for alteration and adaptation to Modern Manners and

_Common Law_.--"The tradition of ages shall prevail," save when it

(4.) "Where there is equal equity the law must prevail," in any view

(5.) "Where the equities are equal the law prevails," in any course it

(6.) "Equity looks upon that as done which is agreed to be done,"
