“The
number shown after each Act’s title is its chapter number. Acts passed before
1963 are cited using this number, preceded by the year/s of the reign of the
monarch during which the relevant parliamentary session was held – for
example, the Union with Ireland Act 1800 is cited as "39 & 40
Geo. 3 c. 67", meaning the 67th Act passed during the session that started
in the 39th year of the reign of George III and which finished in the 40th year
of that reign. Note that the modern convention is to use Arabic numerals in
citations (thus "41 Geo. 3" rather than "41 Geo. III").
Acts of the last session of the Parliament of Great Britain and the first
session of the Parliament of the United Kingdom are both cited as "41 Geo.
3".”
NOTE: postage
charge also includes handling fee to cover costs for packing/wrapping
materials. These Acts
have each been placed in protective sleeves and will be layered between extra
cardboard and mailed in an A3 Rigid Mailer.
