Excerpt from Concise Treatise on the Principles of Equity Pleading It is no part of the plan of this book to discuss what the equitable rights of persons in particular cases are this is fully done in the treatises on Equity J urispru dence. But it may here be observed that the assistance given by the courts of equity consists partly in enforc ing the payment of money, partly in enforcin g the exe cution of deeds and performance of contracts, and partly in restraining various acts, the committal of which is judged to be inequitable while in every case the defendant may be forced to answer on oath questions proposed to him by the plaintiff with reference to the subject of the suit. The right to have such answers given is termed the right to discovery, as distinguished from the right to relief, properly so called, to which it is usually subservient.
