NOTES OF DECISIONS OF THE COURT OF APPEALS TO JANUARY, 1895. Amendments and Acts relating to Codes to January, 1895. Edited by JOHN D. CARROLL. LOUISVILLE: THE COURIER-JOURNAL JOB PRINTING COMPANY, PUBLISHERS. PREFACE. This edition of the Codes contains all amendments, and notes of decisions to January, 1895, including cases reported in 95 Ky. and 16 Ky. Law Reporter. Unreported decisions of the Court of Appeais found in the Ky. Law Reporters bearing upon sections of the Codes have also been inserted. An index in the middle of a book seems out of place, and I have put indexes to both Codes, as well as forms, at the end of the volume. The catch words to sections, the indexes and the notes have been revised, 'rewritten and made more complete, and many forms not in former editions have been added. In an appendix will be found the sections of the Kentucky Statutes relating: 1. To the jurisdiction of all courts in the State. 2. To courts having four judges. 3. To courts having continuous sessions. 4. Selection of special judges. 5. Changes of venue in civil and criminal cases. Also the laws of the United States relating to the Removal of Actions and Prosecutions to the United States Courts, and the Rules adopted by the Court of Appeals of Kentucky. In the citation of cases I have not assumed to criticise or comment, nor undertaken to say what the Court of Appeals will decide when it comes to construe sections not heretofore passed upon, but have contented myself with stating the law as I have found it in the cases. My observation has been that the court does not always adopt the views of the commentator, and that expressions of opinion are more misleading than useful. The Kentucky Statutes contains the general laws of the State not found in the Codes, and the relation between the Statutes and Codes is so intimate that I have in every instance where either a section of the Codes or a note thereto contained any reference to the Statutes, or any section of the Statutes had any bearing on the Codes, cited and noted the section of the Statutes applicable.
