SINCE the publication of the last edition of this work many useful and important statutes affecting the law as administered by justices of the peace have been brought into existence, amongst which we must recognize as the chief "The Summary Jurisdiction Act, 1879" (42 & 43 Vict. c. 49). This statute, passed with the view of amending and improving the summary jurisdiction of the magistracy, though imperfect and incomplete in many particulars, has, upon the whole, been found to work conveniently and to have effected a considerable improvement in the old system. Its various provisions will be found referred to in their appropriate places in the body of the work. In addition to this important statute, many other Acts connected with the subject of the following pages have since the former edition found their way into the statute book, amongst which may be mentioned-The Canal Boats Act, The Children's Dangerous Performances Act, The Contagious Diseases (Animals) Act, The Drugging of Animals Act, various Fishery Acts, The Ground Game Act, The Habitual Drunkards Act, The Highways and Locomotives Act, The Prisons Act, The Suburban (Metropolitan) Races Act, The Weights and Measures Act, &c. &c., each of which will be found referred to in its appropriate place. |
