THE SPECIAL ACTS IN FORCE IN THE WEST BY CHARLES JOSEPH HAWORTH, SOLICITOR, B.A. (CANTAB.), LL.B. (LONDON). SECOND EDITION. LONDON: STEVENS AND SONS, LIMITED, SANDERSON & CLAYTON, WAKEFIELD. Law Publishers. 1906. Quce 1016 1201. ик 376 PREFACE. Since the publication of the first edition, nearly ten years have elapsed. During this period there has been a considerable number of judicial decisions on various points arising out of the statute law, but it is a matter of regret that the important questions as to the rights of manufacturers in relation to local authorities have not yet been clearly defined either by any of these decisions or by legislation. A Royal Commission has reported but although legislation is promised, nothing has yet been done either to carry out their recommendations, or to endeavour in some way or other to bring about a practical and satisfactory solution of very difficult questions connected with the prevention of pollution. The arrangement of this edition is somewhat different from that of the first and it is hoped that this alteration, together with the forms and precedents of agreements (between manufacturers and local authorities) which have been added will increase the utility of this little work.
