BACON & COMPANY, BOOK AND JOB PRINTERS, EXCELSIOR OFFICE, 536 Clay Street, just below Montgomery. 1869. PREFACE. In presenting the Fourth Volume of Nevada Reports to the public, it is proper to say that as to whatever of excellence may be apparent in its preparation and arrangement, very much is due to the skill and experience of THEODORE H. HITTELL, Esq., who has rendered valuable and efficient aid to the Reporter. I may further take occasion to return sincere thanks to the Judges of the Supreme Court and Members of the Bar of Nevada for kindly suggestions and favors during the publication of the volume. It is now respectfully submitted to the people of the State, with the hope that the Bench and Bar will find in it much to commend and little to censure. ALFRED HELM, REPORTER. |
