Compiler's notes. — As enacted, this section ended "except as provided in this act," meaning Laws 1913, ch. 29, §§ 1 to 3. This was changed in the 1915 Code to "except as provided in this and the preceding sections," apparently meaning 5257 to 5259, 1915 Code. Sections 5257 and 5258, 1915 Code, were repealed by Laws 1963, ch. 237, § 6. Laws 1975, ch. 111, § 2, amended this section, substituting "except as provided in this and the preceding section" for "except as provided in this and the preceding sections," among other changes. Section 7-8-53, 1953 Comp., was the first section preceding this section in 1975 that had not been repealed. It is compiled herein as 19-7-51 NMSA 1978.
