Excerpt from General Statutes of the State of Minnesota, Vol. 1: In Force January, 1891 When the section is that of a law enacted since the revision of 1866, and not an amendment of that revision, the year, the chapter and section are cited, and, in order to conform to the Constitution, the title and date of approval of the act are also given under its first section. In consequence of the Probate and Penal Code expunging certain Chapters of the General Statutes as amended, the chapter numbering of that revision could not be followed. The classification of the matter in each chapter under the heads where the subject-matter belongs, so that the subject would not be in different places in the same chapter, prevented the consecutive order of the section numbering in the General Statutes from being followed in all cases. The first volume presents the police and fiscal powers, and could properly be designated the Political Code or division. From the beginning of the sec ond volume until the Probate Code is reached is the civil or remedial. Then follows the Probate Code, the Penal Code and the Code Of Criminal Proced ure. Hence the five codes are presented in this compilation in proper divis ions, order and classification wanting only the name.
