Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Revised Statutes of the State of New Hampshire: Passes December 23, 1842; To Which Are Prefixed the Constitutions of the United States and of the State of New Hampshire The first constitution of New Hampshire was adopted in 1783. It then became necessary to collect the statute laws of the State and adapt them to the new constitution, and in 1784 Hon. Samuel Livermore, Hon. Josiah Bartlett and Hon. John Sullivan were appointed a committee for that purpose. This volume, however, was little more than a compilation. In January, 1790, Hon. Jeremiah Smith, Hon. Nathaniel Peabody and John Samuel Sherburne, Esq., were appointed a committee to collate and revise the statutes, and their draft which was enacted in February, 1791, has been the basis of our statute laws since that time. This revision was quite general and thorough, most of the laws having been redrafted and condensed by them. In 1797, 1805 and 1815, new editions of the statutes were published; but they were merely compilations, methodically arranged, of the laws which at the time were in force. In 1822 the probate laws, embracing about thirty-five pages, were revised by Hon. Charles H. Atherton, Hon. John Harris and James Bartlett, Esq., and in 1827, 1828 and 1829, a revision of other portions of the statutes, embracing about two hundred pages, was made under an order of the legislature by Hon. William M. Richardson, John Porter, Esq., and Samuel D. Bell, Esq. These laws, with a compilation of the statutes then in force and not revised, are contained in the volume published in 1830. In June, 1840, a resolution was adopted by the legislature "that three suitable persons be appointed by his excellency, with advice of council, to revise, codify, and amend the statute laws of New Hampshire." In November, 1840, Hon. Joel Parker, Samuel D. Bell, Esq., and Charles J. Fox, Esq., were appointed commissioners under said resolve. Owing to the pressure of official duties, Judge Parker was unable, except by his advice, to take any part in the labors of the revision.
