Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law Relating to Municipal Corporations in England and Wales The Municipal Corporations Act, 1882, has been passed by the Legislature with the view of consolidating the Municipal Corporations Act of 1835 (5 & 6 Will. 4, c. 76), and the numerous Acts amending and extending the same. The Municipal Corporations Act, 1882, does not, therefore, affect any borough which was not subject to the provisions of the Act of 1835. It does not apply to the City of London, nor to unreformed corporations. Neither does it touch any of the following Acts, although they are administered by municipal corporations, namely: - The Public Health Acts, and the Consolidation Clauses Acts, incorporated therewith. The Labouring Classes Lodging-houses Acts. The Artizans and Labourers Dwellings Acts. The Bakehouse Regulation Act. The Acts relating to Baths and Washhouses. The Acts relating to the Adulteration of Food and Drugs. The Canal Boats, 1877. The Acts relating to Contagious Diseases in Animals. The Dogs Act, 1871. The Act known as the Gardens in Town Protection Act, 1863 (26 Vict. c. 13). The Commons Act, 1876. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
