FOR THE BETTER MANAGEMENT OF THE Highways in England, 1862-1864, AND THE PROVISIONS OF THE TURNPIKE ACTS RELATING TO HIGHWAYS, AND THE WINDING-UP OF WITH INTRODUCTION, NOTES, AND INDEX. Fourth Edition. BY ALEXANDER GLEN, M.A., LL.B., CANTAB., BARRISTER-AT-LAW. LONDON: KNIGHT AND CO., 90, FLEET STREET. 1875. PREFACE. THIS work was formerly edited by my father, Mr. WILLIAM CUNNINGHAM GLEN, Barrister-atLaw; and in preparing a fourth edition for the press, I have availed myself of his notes to the previous editions, making such alterations as I deemed necessary, and adding further notes, including those decisions of the Courts, subsequent to the publication of the last edition, which bear directly upon the Highway Acts of 1862 and 1864. The Introduction, as before, is arranged in sections, which bring together the whole of the law on each particular subject; and it traces the mode in which the Acts are to be adopted, the machinery by which they are to be carried into execution, and the various duties and functions of Highway Boards and their officers. In the latter portion of the work will be found all the general provisions of the Turnpike Acts, 1865–1874, relating to Highways, and the winding-up of Turnpike A |
