1915 Consolidation

On 3rd December 1915 the Governor in Council made the following order:

This Order was published in the Gazette on 3rd December 1915. Following the publication of this Notice, and by virtue of the Dependencies Ordinance 1908 s3, those Ordinances were declared to be in force in the Dependencies:

“subject only to such qualifications as local circumstances render necessary and permit.”

It is interesting that this Notice in the Gazette did not recite the entirety of Dependencies Ordinance 1908 s5 which provides as follows:

“Any Ordinance or part of any Ordinance of the Colony which shall be in force in the Dependencies shall be in force therein so far only as the circumstances of the Dependencies and their inhabitants permit, and subject to such qualifications as local circumstances render necessary.”

On that basis the 73 Ordinances published in ‘The New Edition of the Ordinances of the Colony’ became law in the Dependencies.
The single volume book entitled ‘The New Edition of the Ordinances of the Colony’ published consolidated versions of these 73 Ordinances that dated from 1853-1913.

Below you can find the following tables:

  • Table of Contents
  • Chronological Table of Ordinances
  • Index

(which were published with the Ordinances as well as the Ordinances themselves.)

The Table of Contents lists the Ordinances published in ‘The New Edition of the Ordinances of the Colony’ – is chronological order. The chronology is based on the date of enactment of the Ordinance.

The Chronological Table of Ordinances shows all Ordinances that were enacted in the period 1853-1913 and indicates their status as at the date when ‘The New Edition of the Ordinances of the Colony’ was prepared for publication.

The Index is the index as published in The New Edition of the Ordinances of the Colony.’ It remains of value to point a researcher in the direction of the appropriate Ordinance even if on this part of the website the Ordinances are published individually and not by reference to their page numbers in ‘The New Edition of the Ordinances of the Colony.’

Notes:

  • The Table of Contents indicates that it refers to the Ordinances either by their short title or by subject matter. None of the entries in this Table use the full short title of the Ordinance as defined in the Ordinance.
  • The file names given to each Ordinance comprises a two-digit number corresponding with the place the Ordinance had in the chronological list of Ordinances and as close a rendering as is possible to the short title of the Ordinance.
  • None of the file names for these Ordinances reproduce any prefixing ‘The’ used in the short title to the Ordinance.
