Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North Carolina Criminal Code and Digest: A Complete Code of All the Criminal Statutes of the State, Including Those Passed by the Legislature of 1891; Also, a Complete Digest of Every Criminal Case in the North Carolina Reports Up to and Including the 109 N. C. Reports; With a Table of Cases Dig In presenting The North Carolina Criminal Code and Digest to the profession, we are not free from the solicitude naturally incident to such undertakings. The difficulties attending the preparation of such a work must be encountered to be fully appreciated, but some idea of the labor and trouble we have undergone may be gained when it is remembered that four sessions of our Legislature have convened since the publication of The Code of 1883, each session multiplying the number of criminal statutes, and some of them making radical changes in our system of criminal procedure: for instance, the act of 1891 authorizing the taking of depositions in criminal cases; besides, our criminal statutes were mixed indiscriminately throughout both volumes of The Code with statutes pertaining exclusively to civil matters. The necessity for a revision and consolidation of our criminal statutory law gave rise to the present work, but after embarking in the undertaking we concluded not to confine ourselves to statutory law, but to take in the whole scope of the criminal law as found in our statutes and in the decisions of our Supreme Court, and to make the book, as far as possible, a complete criminal library for the North Carolina practitioner. Every criminal case has been carefully and thoroughly digested without any reference to the head-notes; and we have endeavored to make each paragraph state concretely the doctrine of the decision represented by it as applied to the facts of the case, giving in no instance mere abstract propositions of law.
