THE NEW CODE.
No. L.


As this Code embodies the general statu.
tory law of the State, aud is not to be pub
lished and distributed for some months. il
Is considered desirable to have in advance
a concise statement showing how its impor-
tant general provisions differ from the Code
of 1871 and subsequent enactments. l will
not attempt TO show all the changes. but
only such as I shall consider interesting and
important to be known before the Code Is
published.
In this article | can scarcely do more
than state generally what the Code is. and
its arrangement, without going into details.
Much o. the Code Of SfS was transferred
to that Of 1897 and in turn copied into the
Code Of 1871. This Is referred to by Judge
Campbell IN his report to the Legislature
He says, "Ot the twenty-nine hundred sec
tions into which the Code of 1871 is divided.
about twenty-six hundred were copied from
/ the Code of 1871" and he has, as he saws.
/ faithfully preserved the main body OF these
statutes' in the new Code. This was wise.
The identical sentences, and even the YER
biage of the sections have been for the most
