2. In the performance of such duty, said commissioners shall carefully collect and reduce into one act the different acts and parts of acts which from similarity of subject ought, in their judgment, [to] be consolidated, arranging and distributing the same under such titles, chapters and sections or other suitable divisions and subdivisions as they shall deem proper, with headnotes briefly expressive of the matter contained in such divisions, and also with side notes so drawn as to indicate the contents of the text, and with references to the original text from which each section shall have been compiled, and to the published decisions of the courts of this state expounding or construing the same; and, in every other respect, they shall complete the said revision in such a manner as to them shall seem most useful and proper to render the said acts more plain, concise, and easy to be understood; provided, that no changes shall be made in the phraseology or distribution of the sections of any statute that has been made the subject of a judicial decision by which the construction thereof as established by such decision shall or can be impaired or affected.
