Opinion

OPINION OF THE COURT.

To the Honorable the Senate of the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations: —

We have received from your Honors a resolution, passed in June last, requesting our opinion, at the present January session, upon the question whether Public Laws, chapter 828, repeals the proviso contained in Public Laws, chapter 731, section 21.

Our opinion is, that said chapter 828 does not repeal the proviso. Chapter 828 is an addition to chapter 731, providing for adjourned or second elections which were not provided for in the preceding act. Except as in this respect it amends sections 6 and 7, it does not change the provisions of chapter 731, and therefore it is not otherwise inconsistent with such provisions.
