Book Description

Excerpt from Private Bill Legislation: Comprising the Steps Required to Be Taken by Promoters or Opponents of a Private Bill The subject of private bill legislation has within the last 15 years become of such vast importance, particularly since the rise and progress of our railway system, that but little apology seems necessary for presenting the public with a guide to the practice of both Houses of Parliament relative to the bringing m and proceeding upon private bills. Although the Standing Orders of both Houses have been greatly simplified. Of late years, and are now almost identical as to all matters to be proved before the Examiners, yet their present arrange ment is such as to make them by no means easy of comprehension to those who are not from almost daily practice perfectly familiar with them.
