INTRODUCTION TO THE CODE OF PROCEDURE.

FOR the convenience of the profession, the Editor precedes the Code with a memorandum of the alterations which have, from time to time, been made in it, and with an analysis, taken from the legislative publication of 1851, adapted to the Code as it existed in 1862.

The Code of Procedure was first enacted in 1848, and was re-enacted and much enlarged in 1849. In the thirteen years which have elapsed since then, many emendations and alterations have been made, and that not by independent enactments, but by declaring that a particular section shall read thus and so, or that certain words shall be added to or stricken from the act. This renders the task of preparing the Code, as it is now the law, one of some perplexity, and it may well be that the Editor has not succeeded in giving it correctly. To enable such errors to be more easily detected, he adds a reference to the amendatory acts and a schedule of the various sections affected by the amendments.

Laws of 1851, Chap. 2, repealed § 49.

Laws of 1851, Chap. 479, amended §§ 11, 13, 14, 16, 24, 30, 31, 53, 56, 57, 60, 61, 62, 64, 68, 74, 99, 100, 101, 111, 113, 114, 116, 122, 126, 130, 131, 132, 134, 135, 136, 138, 139, 142, 149, 152, 153, 156, 157, 158, 162, 172, 173, 174, 179, 188, 193, 231, 244, 246, 252, 255, 258, 259, 263, 264, 265, 268, 269, 272, 273, 278, 281, 282, 284, 287, 291, 292, 297, 298, 302, 306, 307, 317, 339, 348, 349, 353, 354, 366, 371, 384, 385, 397, 399, 459, 460, 470; and directed the Secretary of State to cause the Code to be published as amended, and it will be found, as thus amended, in the Session Laws of 1851, with an analysis, which is used in this publication.

Laws of 1852, Chap. 392, amended §§ 11, 13, 30, 33, 64, 101, 116, 140, 149, 150, 153, 167, 168, 173, 244, 245, 252, 253, 255, 264, 265, 268, 272, 274, 278, 281, 287, 307, 317, 348, 349, 353, 354, 359, 360, 367, 397, 401, 460, 470, 471.

Laws of 1853, Chap. 529, extended 28 to the Court of Common Pleas, the Superior Court and the Marine Court in the city of New

York.

Laws of 1854. Chap. 270, allowed appeals under the Code, in "Special Proceedings" under the Revised Statutes.

Laws of 1855, Chap. 44, amended § 153.

Laws of 1855, Chap. 202, extended the Code to actions on forfeited recognizances.

Laws of 1857, Chap. 353, amended § 399.

Laws of 1857, Chap. 723, amended §§ 11, 114, 132, 153, 227, 229, 241, 244, 265, 272, 300, 307, 308, 309, 311, 315, 331, 333, 352, 354, 362, 369.

It is section 19 of this act which amended 333 of the Code, and section 20 enacted, "The provisions of the last preceding section shall apply to any judgment therein mentioned that has been heretofore rendered and upon which an appeal has been brought and is now pending, or upon which an appeal shall hereafter be brought. When the return has already been filed with the Clerk of the Court of Appeals, such statement shall be filed with him and be deemed a part of such return."

Laws of 1858, Chap. 306, amended §§ 13, 56, 57, 60, 61, 62, 132, 135, 204, 246, 256, 284, 292, 307, 309, 328, 331, 344, 354, 399, 401, 460, 244.

Laws of 1859, Chap. 428 amended §§ 134, 172, 237, 256, 272, 292, 307, 309, 399, 401, 335, 348, 412, 13.

Laws of 1860, Chap. 131, § 1, amended § 53 of the Code, added as independent enactments sections 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12 and 13, which will be found in this compilation immediately following the Code, and by section 9, made §§ 214, 215, 216 of the Code applicable to proceedings under that act.

Laws of 1860, Chap. 459 amended §§ 30, 62, 64, 135, 153, 267, 229, 256, 268, 272, 344, 399.

Laws of 1861, Chap. 158 amended § 53 of the Code, but enacted that such amendment should not affect Chap. 131 of the Laws of 160. Laws of 1862, Chap. 460, amended § 11, 24, 13, 53, 46, 121, 132, 183, 240, 241, 244, 273, 274, 287, 288, 298, 304, 307, 308, 309, 311, 318, 349, 352, 360, 364, 366, 371, 399, 401, 471, 111, 230, 330, 335, 348.

This act contained three sections, 28, 29, 30, which followed § 371 of the Code as amended, and are to be found in this compilation immediately after the Code.

Section 39 of this act repealed § 37 of Art. 2 of Title 2 of Chap. 1 of the Revised Statutes in relation to the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery.

Laws of 1862, Chap. 484, extended §§ 206 to 217 of the Code to the Marine and District Courts in the city of New York.

The delays which have attended the publication of this work have enabled the Editor to add to it the amendments made to the Code in 1863.

Laws of 1863, Chap. 372, § 4, extended the provisions of Chapter two of Title nine of Part two of the Code, to judgments obtained against stockholders of certain corporations.

Laws of 1863, Chap. 392, amended §§ 13, 104, 116, 154, 167, 179, 256, 273, 292, 294, 298, 307, 328, 335, 352, 355, 364, 371, 395, 399, 471. These amendments are not incorporated in the different sections, as are the amendments of the prior years, because this publication professes to be of the laws as they existed in 1862. The act of 1863 is published in full.
