A Digest Of The Laws Of The State Of Georgia: Containing All Statutes And The Substance Of All Resolutions Of A General And Public Nature, And Now In Force, Which Have Been Passed In This State, Previous To The Session Of The General Assembly Of December, 1820" by Oliver H. Prince is an early 19th-century codification and extensive index of Georgia statutes as compiled for public use. This work forms Part 1 of a four-part Digest and presents a highly granular framework detailing offices, duties, procedures, penalties, and cross-references across the legal landscape of Georgia and its frontiers. It surveys judiciary organization (courts, judges, clerks, sheriffs, coroners), civil and property law (land grants, surveys, estates, contracts, liens), criminal provisions and punishment, and regulatory regimes (slavery, taxation, licenses, internal improvements). The excerpt emphasizes procedural rules (attachments, writs, executions, pleadings), municipal governance (Augusta, Savannah, Darien, Mayor’s Court, Court of Common Pleas), land policy (head rights, grants, surveys), and Indian boundaries, with attention to local acts and cross-references to Western Territory and Cherokee/Creek treaties. It reads as a reference instrument rather than narrative, guiding readers to statutory provisions and showing how laws are organized and linked across topics.
