While repeals by implication are not favored, yet where the provisions of the later statute cannot have their full force and effect without the repeal of the former statute, such former statute must be deemed to be repealed by implication. Where the provisions are inconsistent the latter must prevail as the latest exhibition of the will of the law making power.- Matter of Washington St. A. & Pk. R. Co., 115 N. Y. 442, 22 N. E. 356.

A repeal of statutes by implication is not favored in the law, and when both the later and former statute can stand together, both will stand unless the former is expressly repealed, or the legislative intent to repeal it is very manifest.-People ex rel. Kingsland v. Palmer, 52 N. Y. 83.

The repeal of a statute declaring a common law obligation of a carrier does not relieve it of liability for failure to perform its common law obligation. Cartwright v. Rome, W. & O. R. Co., 85 Hun (N. Y.), 517, 33 N. Y. Supp. 147.

-

A cause of action or defense, conferred by a statute based on grounds of public policy, confers no vested right which is not taken away by a repeal of the statute.- Washburn v. Franklin, 35 Barb. (N. Y.) 599.
