CAP. I.

An ACT to prevent Acts of the General Assembly from taking effect, from a Time prior to the passing thereof.

Preamble.

 
WHEREAS every Act of the General Assembly, in which the commencement thereof is not directed to be from a specific time, doth commence from the first day of the Session of the General Assembly in which such Act is passed:   And whereas the same is liable to produce great and manifest injustice; for remedy whereof,

Clerk of the Council to indorse on every Act the date of Governor's assent, which shall be the date of its commencement.

 
Be it Enacted by the Lieutenant Governor, Council, and Assembly, That the Clerk of the Council shall indorse, in English, on every Act of the General Assembly, which shall pass after the Twentieth day of February, One thousand Seven hundred and Ninety-six, immediately after the title of such Act, the day, month, and year, when the same shall have passed, and shall have received the Governor's assent:   And such indorsement shall be taken to be a part of such Act, and to be the date of its commencement, where no other commencement shall be therein provided.
