Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Elementary Law: For the General Public
Acts of Parliament contain a clause specifying their short title, and to many others short titles were given by an Act passed in 1896, called The Short Titles Act, 1896. Each Act has also a full title, consisting of the heading prefixed to the Act. The references to decided cases indicate the Reports in which they are to be found. The Reports have full names, consisting in many cases of the names of the reporters who published them but there are certain recognized abbreviations by which they are all known. Printed lists of these abbrevia tions are to be found in all law libraries, and lawyers soon become familiar with them, so that there is no need to embody them in any law book. In composing this book it has been the writer's endeavour to use ordinary language as far as possible, and to give an explanation of each legal term the first time that it is used. An index including all terms so explained will be found at the end of the book; so that any one coming across an unexplained term in any part of the book, may turn to the index and be directed to the page on which an explanation will be found.
