Syllabus

<p>1. Commission of claims—appointment of bailiff—by whom. So much of paragraph 29 of section 1 of the “Act to provide for the ordinary and contingent expenses of the State government;” passed and approved May 25, 1889, as provides for the appointment of a bailiff for the Commission of Claims, is repealed by section 1 of the act of May 28, 1889, providing for the appointment of the Commission of Claims, which gives the appointment of such bailiff to the Commission of Claims.</p> <p>2. Repeal of statutes — by implication. The repeal of laws by implication, as a general rule, is not favored. But if two acts are so inconsistent that they can not stand together, the later act must prevail. If obedience can not be rendered to both acts, the first must yield to the later one.</p>
