Editorial Notes
CODIFICATION
Act July 2, 1862, with the exception of section 7, was
not incorporated into the Revised Statutes, probably
because the grants made thereby were regarded as exe-
cuted, and the provisions incidental thereto as tem-
porary. By act Mar. 3, 1883, ch. 102, 22 Stat. 484, how-
ever, section 4 of the original act was amended to read
as set out under section 304 of this title.
