Law Library PRINTED BY WILLIAMS, LEA & COMPANY, LIMITED, FOR HENRY GEORGE GORDON WELCH, C.B.E. Controller of His Majesty's Stationery Office and King's Printer of Acts of Parliament To be purchased from York House, Kingsway, LONDON, W.C.2 429 Oxford Street, LONDON, W.1 This Edition will, when completed, supersede the Second Edition of Statutory Rules and Orders Revised published in 1904. It embodies under classified headings all the Statutory Rules and Orders and Statutory Instruments of a public general and permanent character (hereinafter referred to as "Instruments") and the Orders in Council and Letters Patent issued under the Royal Prerogative which affect the constitutions of Colonies, regulate appeals to His Majesty in Council, or make laws as to colonial currency, in force on 31st December, 1948. TEMPORARY INSTRUMENTS. Instruments which are of a temporary character, e.g., the Defence Regulations and the Orders thereunder and Orders fixing maximum prices and charges under the Goods and Services (Price Control) Act, 1941, are omitted. The Defence Regulations, prepared in the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel in consolidated form, are periodically published by H.M. Stationery Office, and, where they affect instruments embodied in the work, appropriate references are given to that publication. Orders issued under the Defence Regulations and other temporary and local Orders may be traced by referring to the annual volumes of Statutory Rules and Orders and Statutory Instruments. RULES OF COURT. It has also been considered unnecessary to include certain Rules of Court, viz., the County Court Rules, the Supreme Court Rules, the Chancery of Lancaster Rules and the Rules of the Court of Session, Scotland, because, although those Rules and amendments thereof are published as Statutory Instruments, access to them is provided by their reproduction in consolidated form in the annually published County Court Practice, the Supreme Court Practice, and otherwise. IRELAND. Departmental legislation of the Governments of Eire and Northern Ireland is excluded. Detailed information regarding the constitutions and rule-making powers of the two parts of Ireland is given in the 1946 Edition of the "Index to Statutory Rules and Orders and Statutory Instruments in Force" under the title "Ireland, Government of," and more particularly under the titles "Eire" and "Northern Ireland". Instruments relating to Northern Ireland for effecting the transfer of administration, adaption of enactments, &c. are, however, printed under the title "Northern Ireland" and those affecting reserved or transferred topics will be found under the appropriate subject title. Arrangement The system of arrangement is similar to that adopted for the Second Edition, wherein the Instruments were grouped in alphabetical titles corresponding with the titles adopted both in the "Index to the Statutes in Force" and the "Index to Statutory Rules and Orders and Statutory Instruments in Force." The latter Index, which is closely connected with this work, sets out all the existing statutory rule-making powers and their exercise, if any, and, once this work is completed, will, where possible, cite instruments by means of page references to this work.
