Excerpt from Manual for the General Court, 1931: No; 22 The amendments of 1850 took effect September 16, 1852; those of 1876, August 1, 1877, October 1, 1878, and the first Wednesday of June, 1879, as indicated in the foot notes; those of 1889, April 2, 1889; those of 1902 on March 26, 1903; and those of 1912 on November 20, 1912. The numbering of the sections of Part II first appeared in the Revised Statutes of 1842. In 1889, when the tenth section of Part II was stricken out, all subsequent sections were renumbered, with the result of making much confusion in citations. In this copy the original numbering has been placed in parenthesis at the side of the revised number. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
