Footnotes
In the Compiled Laws of the Territory of Dakota, 1887, from which this section was adopted, the last clause in the text above respecting “matter privileged under the last section” was a separate section following the first part of the text above, and apparently the last clause should have the words “matter privileged under this section” instead of the words quoted above.
