NOTE. In many of the notes to THE PENAL CODE it is said that the Acts of 1872, amendatory of Acts existing prior to the adoption of the Code, were void under Section 330 of the Political Code. This is an incorrect expression; the statutes so existing, as also the Acts of 1872, amendatory, etc., thereof, constitute the law for all purposes, prior to January 1st, 1873, when the Code goes into effect, and will remain the preexisting law. The Code taking effect January 1st, 1873, supersedes them at that time, but they are not void.-EDS. |
