Gregory's Revisal Biennial 1915 of North Carolina Containing Annotations to the Revisal of 1905 collected since at the Session of 1915 and notes to the Constitution of North Carolina Published and For Sale By Phillips Publishing Corporation Norge, Virginia Copyright 1915 Phillips Publishing Corporation The William Byrd Press, Inc. Printers Richmond, Va. PREFACE This work is intended to supplement Gregory's Supplement, 1913, to Pell's Revisal, and to place in readily accessible form all the general and permanent Laws of the General Assembly of 1915, together with the recent decisions of the courts construing sections of the Revisal and subsequent general legislation. The sections of the Revisal are arranged herein consecutively. Those sections which have not been changed by the General Assembly, 1915, and relating to which there are no new notes, are omitted entirely, and those sections which have not been amended or repealed, but which are herein annotated, appear only by number followed by notes relating thereto. Many of the following pages are of course mere copy of the Laws of 1915; but it is believed that the Bench and the Bar will find this work possesses the following advantages over the official edition of the acts: 1. The sections of the Revisal amended or repealed are arranged consecutively, are therefore readily accessible, and reliance upon an index is avoided. 2. Amended sections, both of the Revisal and subsequent laws, are published in full as amended, the changes being incorporated in the text. 3. Here are collected decisions, both State and Federal, construing the sections of the Revisal and the subsequent legislation, compiled in Gregory's Supplement, 1913, together with notes and cross references. The annotations of the statutes begin where those of the Supplement, 1913, leave off, and are taken from North Carolina Reports, 162 to 167, both inclusive; U. S. Supreme Court Reports, 226 to 235, both inclusive, and Federal Reports, 204 to 219, both inclusive. An examination of the table of contents will be helpful to a clear understanding of the plan and arrangement of the work. The Editor would appreciate any suggestions as to the perfection of future editions of these works, and would welcome information of any errors or imperfections detected either in this work or in Gregory's Supplement.
