PUBLICATION AUTHORIZED BY THE SUPREME COURT OF THE VOLUMES I. AND II. SAN FRANCISCO: A. L. BANCROFT AND COMPANY, Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1877, By A. L. BANCROFT & COMPANY, In the Office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington. PREFACE. THIS Volume contains the opinions of the Supreme Court of the State of Nevada as published in volumes 1 and 2 Nevada Reports; it having been deemed advisable, owing to the scarcity of said volumes, to republish said decisions. In condensing these volumes into one, the briefs of counsel are necessarily omitted. The statements of facts, when not embodied in the opinions of the court, are briefly set forth. The head-notes have been revised and rearranged, and references are added showing in what other cases in this State the principle decided has been commented upon, affirmed, or overruled. The paging of the original Reports will be found at the head of each case and on the margin of each page. I have endeavored to present this work in such shape as to merit the approval of the Bench and Bar. CARSON CITY, Nevada, THOMAS P. HAWLEY. |
