1. ““Towards the closing days of the last session of the Legislature the opinion prevailed that a new Code. of Civil Procedure would not be adopted. An act was therefore passed 'to regulate appeals and writs of error,’ also an act 'in relation to liens of judgment rendered in probate court.’ Afterward an entire Code oxi 'Civil Procedure’ was enacted. It specifically provides for appeals and writs of error; also, regulates liens in courts of record. The codifying committee have concluded to publish both acts in this addenda, together with the act providing additional officers for the Legislature — which latter act the Supreme Court held to be illegal and void.””
