Riassunto

Excerpt from The Revised Statutes of the State of New York, as Altered by Subsequent Legislation, Vol. 1 of 3: Together With the Unrevealed Statutory Provisions of a General Nature; Containing the First Thirteen Chapters of the First Part of the Revised Statutes, and the General Laws Connected With Them, From the Revision to the Close of the Session of 1856

For the purpose, then, of presenting a full and accurate view of the whole existing statute law of a general nature, the acts of the legislature, passed since 1828, have been carefully examined, and all their provisions which in any manner affected those contained in the Revised Statutes, and all such as are of a. General and public nature, are inserted in those titles and articles where the same or similar subjects are contained. This produces, in some instances, what would be an incongruity, if the article or title in which such new provisions are contained was to be deemed an entire original set. For example, in the provisions thus incorporated, references frequently appear to former or other sections of the same act. From which those provisions are taken, and these references are made by the expression of this act, or other similar terms, by which the new law only is meant. But as no power is possessed by us to alter the language of the subsequent acts, they are necessarily inserted in the very words in which they passed, including such references and other apparent incongruities. By referring, however, to the notes at the foot of the page, these references will be explained, and the reader who will attend to them cannot be misled.

In effecting this arrangement, in such a manner as to give an intelligent view of the former and new acts combined, so as to exhibit their relations to each other, much difficulty was experienced in determining the proper place for inserting new provisions which related to two or more distinct subjects. Many acts of the legislature were of that character, and yet the sections of some of those acts were so interwoven with each other, that they could not be well separated without doing violence to the sense of the passages removed. In all such, cases the new provisions have been inserted in the place indicated by their general or leading subject, and where they affected, or were believed to affect, other existing enactments, references have been made in notes to such enactments.
