Their duty is simply to bring into one view
the different statutes Of the commonw q lth,

amend the laws, but merely 10 present 10 the
legislature in condensed form such statutes
and parts Of statutes as are in force at the
present time. The accomplishment OF this
object will appear of no trlfing importance
when ii is considered what numerous and
sometimes contradictory statutes have been
enacted in various periods Of the government,

have been reported, have given them TO com.
