seventy-pine acts and joint resolutions
Of all kinds passed during the session
but many Of them were Of purely To-
cal character, and are therefore omit
ed from the list published below. The
work Of the legislature this year has
been largely of a negative character

great Importance. The greatest in
terest centered in the new jury law,
the new road law and the new county

tutional. The new laws on these sub
jects were prepared with great deal
Of care but it remains to be seen il
they will stand the tests Of the courts.
