PREFACE.

THIS work is designed to give, in as complete and convenient a form as is practicable, the statute laws of a general nature of the State of California, as they at present exist. These laws consist of what are known as the Codes, and various other acts which were either continued in force by the Codes, or were unaffected by them, or have been passed since their adoption. The separate acts referred to, if they treat of subjects also treated of in the Codes, will be found inserted in proper places in the Codes; otherwise, they will be found in the latter portion of the work under the general head of "Statutes in Force." Many special and local acts, particularly such as modify the general rules of the Codes, or such as affect many persons, or are of important application in many counties, are also given, the plan being to include all the general and as much of the special and local legislation of the State as can be contained in a digest of reasonable compass. Where the special and local acts are not given in full, they are referred to in such a manner as to guide the inquirer and enable him readily to find what he seeks for; and in all cases the special and local laws affecting particular counties are referred to under the heads of the respective counties.
