INTRODUCTION TO THE SECOND EDITION. THE first edition of the Annotated Practice Act of California having been gladly received by the profession in the State, it has been deemed advisable to issue a second, carefully revised, in which are incorporated the Amendments to the Act of the Legislatures of 1857 and 1858, and the decisions of the Supreme Court since April, 1856, and also the new Rules of the Supreme Court. Practice decisions have also been supplied from the latest New York Reports, comprising the 15th New York (1 Smith's Court of Appeals,) 4th Kernan, 6th Selden, 24th Barbour, 14th Howard, 6th Abbott, 5th Duer and 3d E. D. Smith. The District Court rulings heretofore inserted have been omitted, as they offered little authority, where no opportunity could be had of reading a full opinion thereupon. There is annexed the "Act concerning the Courts of Justice of this State, and Judicial Officers," as also the "Act concerning Forcible Entries and Unlawful Detainers," with annotations thereto of decisions rendered. The figures in brackets, succeeding the section number, denote the year in which the section had been amended, and the amendments of 1857 and 1858 are in italic. SAN FRANCISCO, May, 1858. HENRY J.
