and chapter numbers, thereby preserving the familiar arrangement of the previous Codes. The charter of the City of Wilmington and amendments thereto, being of no more interest to the general public than the charters of other incorporated towns, and having been revised and published this present year under the direction of the City Council of that city, has therefore been omitted from this edition. Under authority of the foregoing resolutions we have omitted all sections or paragraphs that have become inoperative by limitation of time or the performance of the acts therein required. Such omissions are indicated by stars without side notes. Portions specifically stricken out by acts of Assembly are indicated by stars and side notes. All specific amendments are inclosed by brackets with side references indicating the chapter and volume where the same is to be found. Chapter 44, heretofore relating to St. Mary's College, whose charter has expired and was omitted in the Code of 1874, has been appropriated to the "College for Colored Students." Other acts not properly belonging under any of the old heads have been put under sub-headings at the ends of chapters most similar to their provisions, or under the head of miscellaneous at the end of Chapter 133. Under the head of schools we have omitted synopsis of the titles of acts of a special nature as being of no interest or advantage to the general public, and not proper to be published in a work of this nature. For a like reason we have omitted the synopsis of the charters of banks, canals, railroads, turnpikes and toll-bridges. JAMES H. HUGHES,
