Syllabus

<p>It was not the intention of the Legislature, by the passage of the act of April 24, 1850, repealing certain acts, “and to incorporate the city and county of Sacramento,” to repeal the law by which the county of Sacramento was created.</p> <p>The territory of the county includes the city, but the city forms but a portion of the county, and their respective limits are kept distinct in the act; the powers of the board of supervisors being different in respect to the two. The county and city constitute a corporation for some purposes, while they are distinct as to others.</p> <p>An indictment found by the grand jury of the county of Sacramento, on the sixth day of May, 1858, is good, as such jury was properly empanneled as of the county of Sacramento.</p>
