Statutory Rules and Orders Other Than Those of a Local, Personal Or Temporary Character

Orders which relate to procedure or fees in Courts in England and Wales bear also a second number, prefixed by the letter "L, denoting that they form part of the Legal Series. All Orders relating solely to Scotland bear a second number prefixed by the letter S," denoting that they form part of the Scottish Series.

Copies of the Orders so put on sale can be obtained from H.M. Stationery Office, Imperial House, Kingsway, W.C.2, by ordering them by their numbers, or as regards the Legal, or Scottish Series, either by these numbers, or by the second numbers, or by ordering the whole of a series.

The Documentary Evidence Acts as extended to various new Ministries (a) apply to nearly all Statutory Rules and Orders: therefore the copies of all Statutory Rules and Orders to which those Acts so apply printed in these Volumes, and also the copies of Statutory Rules and Orders as put on sale in separate forma, are under those Acts receivable in evidence.

The volumes are edited by The Editor of revised Statutes, Statutory Kules and Orders, etc. (Alexander Pulling, Esq., C.B., Barrister-at-Law), 2, Harcourt Buildings, Temple, E.C.4, and his Assistant (Cecil T. Carr, Esq., LL.D., Barrister-at-Law). Any suggestions or corrections respecting these volumes should be addressed to "The Editor of revised Statutes, &c.," at his Office as above.

A second edition of "The Statutory Rules and Orders Revised," containing all Orders of a Public and General Character in force on December 31st, 1903, was published in 1904. This edition supersedes the Annual Volumes of Orders of 1890 to 1903. The Table (above referred to) shewing the effect of the Orders of 1920 on those of previous years and the similar tables to the Volumes for 1904 to 1919 are so arranged as to facilitate the revision of this edition to December 31, 1920.

A new (ninth) edition of "The Index to the Statutory Rules and Orders," giving references to every statutory provision authorising the making of Rules or Orders and to the Statutory Rules and Orders in force under such authorities on December 31st, 1919, has now been published.

The system of arrangement of these works, like that of the Statutory Rules and Orders issued in separate form, all of which are also within Mr. Pulling's Official Editorship, is similar to those of the former editions, which they supersede.
