Regulations were made under section 3 by the Treasury, with the concurrence of the Lord Chancellor and the Speaker of the House of Commons, and will be found at p. 415 of this volume. The Statute Law Committee, through whom the former volumes were published, having ceased to be responsible in the matter, the present volume is edited on behalf of the Queen's Printer of Acts of Parliament, with the advice of a Committee appointed by the Treasury, the Lord Chancellor, and the Speaker of the House of Commons. The contents of the volume are necessarily compiled in agreement with the requirements of the Act and regulations. Although (according to the Regulations) (No. 3) the plan of the previous volumes of Statutory Rules and Orders has been adopted as a practical guide for the new volume, yet in some cases (e.g., those coming within Regulation 2 and Regulation 13) documents which would have been printed under the former plan have been omitted from the present issue. The volume is, like its predecessors, strictly limited to Statutory Rules which are authorised by specific Acts of Parliament, and does not extend to any orders, rules, or regula tions which are made independently of any statutory power. It is also limited to Orders of public and general interest, and does not contain those of a local, personal, or temporary character. In accordance with Regulation 5, the distinction between public and local Orders follows in the main the distinction recognised between those two classes of Acts. At the commencement of the volume there is a chronological table of the Statutory Rules, and a further table of the same Rules arranged under the names of the Government Departments principally concerned in making them. At the end of the volume a classified list is given of the Orders of a local character made during 1894,* and an index to the Orders of a public and general character made during the same period. The number given to the Order in accordance with Regulation (6) is printed on each Order in addition to the calendar year. As some Orders in Council, although not made in pursuance of a statutory power, have a legislative effect in parts of the British dominions, the editor has been authorised to add to the volume an Appendix containing Orders in Council which have a legislative character. The volume is edited by A. Pulling, Esq., 2, Tanfield Court, Temple, and any suggestions or corrections respecting the volume may be addressed to him. A list of temporary Statutory Rules which have been excluded from publications in the volume under Regulation 12.

The Numbers in the first column are those by which the Orders have been registered by the Queen's Printer under the Rules Publication Act. *The Orders issued during the year which though of a public and general character are annual or temporary or have been already rescinded are not included in this Table.
