PREFACE.

THE marginal notes of this volume of laws will show the volume of statutes where any prior law upon the same subject may be found. The volume of statutes published in 1866 is referred to as "Rev. Stat.," and that published in 1873 as "Gen. Stat." The legislature adjourned Mar. 31, 1887. Where there is no emergency clause in any of these acts, by force of Sec. 24, Art. III. of the Constitution, they could not take effect at all until July 1, 1887, three calendar months after the adjournment of the legislature. But, under an act approved February 25, 1873, "concerning the enacting and regulating of statutes," "Gen. Stat.," 1056, all acts silent on the subject take effect July 1, 1887. See opinion of the supreme court in Roesink v. Barnett, 8 Nebraska Reports, 146.
