Annotation
[1] AD, I-Ar. These amendments to a Senate bill were adopted by the House on December 12, 1840. The council of revision turned the bill down, objecting to Lincoln's fourth section. Whereupon the fourth section was removed and the amended bill passed both houses. It may be found in Laws of Illinois, 1841, pp. 315-16.
