PREFACE.

THIS volume has been prepared as a continuation of the series
known as the Supplements to the Maryland Code. It will be found
to contain the Acts of 1870, arranged in Articles and Sections to
correspond with the Code, with marginal indexes and references.

The previous Supplements having been favorably received, both by
the legal profession and by the general public, and the Supplement
of 1861-67 having been, by the Act of 1870, chapter 398, "legalized
and made of equal authority in the Courts of this State, with the
Acts of the General Assembly therein codified," the Publishers have
been encouraged to complete the series with the present volume.
