THE Nuisances Removal AND DISEASES PREVENTION ACTS, WITH INTRODUCTORY COMMENTS, CASES, AND FORMS. Fifth Edition. BY DAVID KEANE, Esq., ONE OF HER MAJESTY'S COUNSEL. BIB London: SHAW AND SONS, FETTER LANE, PREFACE. THE important and numerous amendments made in the Nuisances Removal Acts by the Sanitary Act, 1866, has necessitated the entire revision of the last edition of this work. The opportunity has been taken to incorporate in the Introduction the decisions of the Courts upon the interpretation of the Acts since the former edition; and no pains have been spared to make the work useful to the Local Authorities whose duty it is to enforce the Acts, as well as to all those-owners of property and others—whose interests may be affected by the proceedings of the Local Authorities. A new edition of the work is most opportunely called for at the present time, when Cholera has so formidably made its appearance in various parts of England, but which it is hoped that, by the prompt adoption of precautionary measures, will speedily be arrested or "stamped out." The Diseases Prevention Acts have been temporarily put in force throughout England, by an Order of Council, dated the 14th July, 1866; and the Privy Council have accordingly issued Orders and Regulations in pursuance of the Act, dated respectively the 20th and 21st July, 1866. As these Orders and Regulations, together with Memoranda by the Medical Officer of the Privy Council, and the particulars of the treatment for Cholera recommended by the Royal College of Physicians, at the request of the Privy Council, have been published by Messrs. Shaw and Sons, with an Introductory Summary by Mr. J. B. Hutchins, of the Medical Department of the Privy Council, they are not included in this work. TEMPLE, 10th August, 1866. |
