Compiler's notes. — The compilers of the 1915 Code changed the statutory reference in this section, so that instead of referring to Laws 1869, ch. 20, § 1 (presently compiled as 77-16-9 NMSA 1978), this section referred to Laws 1869, ch. 20, § 3 (presently compiled as 77-16-11 NMSA 1978). Consideration of the section's provisions would seem to indicate that it was intended to refer to Laws 1869, ch. 20, § 2 (presently compiled as 77-16-10 NMSA 1978).
