Biographical note
Sir Thomas Erskine Perry (1806-82) served as the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Bombay. He was knighted in 1841.
In the last few months of holding office in India, Erskine Perry, judge in India, employed some of his leisure hours in collecting a few cases of general interest that had come to him in the Supreme Court of Bombay. This book is an outcome of it.
