SUPREME COURT RECORDS.

1. Follow copy literally, except italics (which stand for errors only), capitalization, and punctuation.

2. Use italic letters to indicate errors of orthography and apostrophes to indicate errors of omission. In case of a doublet, italicize the repeated portion. Use no dashes, but indicate blanks with quads.

3. Make paragraphs of answers in Q. and A. matter.

4. Use apostrophes in unusual abbreviations, such as Feb’y, c’t, etc.; but in well-established abbreviations use the period, as Mr., deft., plff.

5. Many words, although not spelled according to Webster, if sanctioned by other authorities, should be set without italic letters.

6. Italics should not be used to indicate errors of syntax, or errors of orthography, in foreign languages, except in law terms, as fiari fecias; nor should italics be used in variations of orthography of proper names of persons or places.

7. Where the name of a corporation occurs beginning with the word “the,” use a cap. T, thus: the said The B. & O. R. R. Co.; The Sun v. The Globe; The City of Washington v. The B. & O. R. R. Co.; the defendant The Davies County Bank.

8. Errors in italics will always be indicated by roman letters, thus: fiere fecias, conplaineants.

9. Names of vessels will be set in roman, quoted.

10. Do not change the spelling of proper names, nor use italics to indicate errors therein.
