Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Translation of the Law of Criminal Procedure for Cuba and Porto Rico (With Spanish d104): With Annotations, Explanatory Notes and Amendments Made Since the American Occupation
The translator of the Code of Criminal Procedure in force in Cuba and Porto Rico begs to call attention to the fact that a large number of decisions Of the Supreme Court of Madrid have been inserted as foot notes, which serve to elucidate the language of the text. These deci sions are authoritative interpretations and in the Spanish courts have practically the force of law.
The references, also inserted as footnotes, calling attention to other laws in force, to royal decrees and military orders which modify the procedure prescribed by the code, it is thought will also aid in making the work of practical use, both for those who desire to inform them selves as to the methods of Spanish procedure and those called upon to practice before the courts in the islands of Cuba and Porto Rico.
At the suggestion of a number of attorneys, the Spanish text, taken from official editions of the law, has also been inserted for purposes of convenience.
The Cuban civil orders contained in the first appendix have been inserted as published by the respective authorities, and in many cases the English equivalents of the Spanish terms will be found to differ from those used by-the translator in the text of the law.
