Local Government Act 1888 With The Incorporated Provision Of The Municipal Corporations Act 1882 And Other Acts PDF Download

Excerpt from The Municipal Corporations Acts and Other Enactments: Relating to the Powers and Duties of Municipal Corporations Thereunder, With Notes and References to the Cases Thereon The First Edition of this book was published in 1842, shortly after the passing of the Municipal Corporations Act, 1835. The Eighth Edition, which was rendered necessary by the passing of the consolidating Municipal Corporations Act, 1882, was published in October, 1883, and was followed twelve months later by a supplement containing the Municipal Elections (Corrupt and Illegal Practices) Act, 1884, and several other statutes. Since 1884 the powers and duties of municipal corporations have been largely modified and extended by legislation (including some twenty-seven new statutes dealt with in this edition), and the decisions, both under the earlier Acts and under the subsequent legislation, have been very numerous. Consequently it has been found necessary to re-write the whole of the notes contained in the last edition. It is believed, however, that all that remains of value in the notes to the earlier editions has been retained. The book is now divided into two Parts, the first of which is confined to the three statutes which bear the title of Municipal Corporations Acts.
