the II It's execution both mechanically and eo-
rally, deserves the thanks Of the profession
The imperfect manner Of publishing statutes under
State authority has always been source Of great nco-
venence to the Indiana Lawyer The revision Of 1852

Thus pages 373 377 of their first volume they have
collected all Legislation, in force the subject
