Preface
This, the Oudh Code, is published under the authority of the Government of India, and contains, first, the unrepealed Bengal Regulations in force in Oudh as modified by the Oudh Laws Act, XVIII of 1876, and secondly, the unrepealed local Acts of the Governor General in Council in force in that Province.
The present volume is founded on Clarke’s edition of the Bengal Regulations published in 1854, under the authority of the Court of Directors of the East India Company, and on the ofB-cial copies of the Acts of the Supreme Council preserved in the Legislative Department.
The only changes made in reprinting are the following :—
(</.) Repealed portions of Regulations and Acts have been omitted, except in some cases where the repeal is not specific. In such cases the repeal is mentioned in a foot-note.
(5.) Where an Act directs that a section, a clause or words be inserted in a former Regulation or Act, in re-printing the former Regulation or Act, the insertion has been made.
(<?.) Where one Regulation or Act refers to another, and such reference is directed by a subsequent Act to be read as if made to the latter Act, the number, year and title of the latter Act have, as a rule, been substituted in the text.
((|.) Arabic numerals have been substituted for the Roman numerals used in the Regulations and the earlier Acts to denote the section-numbers.
(e.) Words belonging to oriental languages have been uni¬ formly spent.
