Excerpt from Manual of Emergency Legislation: Comprising All the Acts of Parliament, Proclamations, Orders, Passed and Made in Consequence of the War to September 30th, 1914This Volume comprises the full text of all the Statutes, Proclamations, Orders in Council, Rules, Regulations, and Notifications (whether subsequently amended, or repealed, or not), which have been passed and made to September 30th, 1914, in direct consequence of the European Crisis of August, 1914, and the ensuing State of War, with Notes.It is divided into three Parts, of which the first consists of the Notifications of a State of War, the second of what may be termed the "emergency" Statutes in chapter sequence, and the third of the "emergency" Proclamations, Orders, &c., , grouped under subject headings, and preceded by a chronological Table shewing their dates of issue.Those Acts, Proclamations, Orders, &c., , which are now (September 30th) no longer in force are printed in italics.The footnotes afford a guide from the Statutes to the Orders, &c., , thereunder and vice versa, and also account for all repeals and amendments.The main text is followed by a series of Appendices comprising certain documents (such as the Declarations of Paris and of London, the Hague Convention, and the Rules as to Appeals to the Judicial Committee) to which, though they are not themselves "Emergency Legislation, " considerable reference is in that connection required.The Order in Council of August 20th, 1914 (printed at p. 143), provides that the Declaration of London is to be interpreted by all Courts by the light of the commentary thereon given in the General Report of the Drafting Committee on the Declaration. That Report will be found at pp. 464-514 hereof.The full text of both the Defence of the Realm Act, 1914, and of the Defence of the Realm (No. 2) Act, 1914, is given in Part II., and the full text of both the Defence of the Realm Regulations of August, and of the amending Regulations (Nos. 2 and 3) of September, in Part III. But as the second Act considerably modifies the first one, and the effect of the September Regulations is to very largely add to and modify the code first issued in August, it has been thought convenient to give the whole of both the two Acts and of the three sets of Regulations in consolidated form in Appendix B. The full text of the Acts as given in Part II. and of the Regulations as given in Part III. will be receivable in evidence: but for reference purposes the consolidated forms in the Appendix may be found more convenient.For like purposes of reference it has been considered convenient to reprint in Appendices Section 1 of the Patents, Designs, and Trade Marks (Temporary Rules) Act, 1914, as amended by the Amendment Act, and to set out both the sections of the Burgh Police (Scotland) Act, 1892, which are amended and extended to counties by the Special Constables (Scotland) Act, 1914, and those sections of the Police and Police (Scotland) Acts which are applied by the Police Constables (Naval and Military Service) Act, 1914.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
