Excerpt from Biennial Report of the Attorney-General of the State of California: 1899-1900An examination of the report will disclose a volume of business probably unequaled in any similar period of time hitherto.This is especially true with respect to the civil business of the omco. Indeed, this branch of the work has severely taxed the time and energy of the office force, and but for the arrangement that relieves this office of the vast amount of legal work connected with the State Hospitals for the care of the insane, it would scarcely have been possible to have properly attended to the business that has poured into this office during the last twenty months.As illustrative of the magnitude and variety of the civil matters constantly demanding attention, a few representative cases may be cited.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
