JANUARY AND JULY TERMS, 1873 AND 1874. By LORENZO CROUNSE, COUNSELOR-AT-LAW. REPRINTED: STATE JOURNAL COMPANY, LINCOLN. 1901. Entered according to Act of Congress, in the Office of the Librarian of Congress, A. D. 1874. By LORENZO CROUNSE. NEW ASSIGNMENT. JUDGES OF THE SUPREME COURT OF NEBRASKA. CHIEF JUSTICE, GEORGE B. LAKE. ASSOCIATE JUSTICES, DANIEL GANTT. SAMUEL MAXWELL. ATTORNEY GENERAL, JOSEPH R. WEBSTER. REPORTER, LORENZO CROUNSE. CLERK, GUY A. BROWN. PREFACE. THE general plan adopted by my predecessor has been followed in this volume. The opinions, however, have been collected and arranged under the head of the terms. respectively, at which they were delivered. This arrange ment begins with the first term held by the present Jus tices. In cases where decisions were announce I before, but the opinions have been subsequently filed, the opin ions are collected in an appendix. Liberty has been taken to omit portions of the briefs of counsel, where they are quite lengthy-particularly such parts as relate to questions not considered by the court, and some attention has been given to verifying references, to see that the correct volume and page are given. My time having been mostly engaged in other direc tions, this volume has mainly been prepared by Guy A. BnowN, Esq., of Lincoln. His relation to the court for years, and his experience in coni iling the General Stat utes of Nebraska, have qualified him to bring into the work that perspicuity and accuracy so desirable in the reports of judicial decisions. My labor has been little more than revisory. L. CROUNSE. LiNCOLN, October, 1874. SUPREME COURT RULES. ADOPTED JULY TERM, 1869. RULE I.

COPIES & Qf V 21399 f C*"T - PREFACE, The first edition of the Legislative Hand Book and Manual, compiled and published in 1893. by authority of the Senate and House of Representatives of that session received very favorable reception and high commendations from legislators, state officials, and the public upon its appearancefrom the press. It was generally admitted to be a great improvement upon any similar work ever before issued in this state. The Legislature of 1897 by a special resolution gave this work its approval by ordering the Secretary of State to furnish said session with this Manual. The new features introduced in the first edition were: First—‘’Sub-heads” for the various subjects and topics in the various chapters, as “Constitution of tbeUnited States,” “ Constitution of theState of Nebraska,” “Legislative Practice,” “Standing Rules of the Senate and House of Representatives.” etc. This feature made the finding of subjects more easy, something every legislator appreciates when suddenly “points of order” are raised. Secondly—The addition of the chapters on “Statutory Provisions,” “De¬ cisions of the Supreme Court,” bearing upon legislative practice; “ Decisions of the House of Representatives on Points of Order.” All valuable to the legislator.
