Multiple issues wikify October 2010 orphan February 2009 update October 2010 CONSOLIDATION ACTS To consolidate Latin consolidare, from con , together, and solidus, firm is to press compactly together, put on a firm basis, and especially bring together into one strong whole. The practice of legislating for small portions of a subject only at a time, which is characteristic of the English parliament, produces as a necessary consequence great confusion in the statute law. The acts relating to any subject of importance or difficulty will be found to be scattered over many years, and through the operation of clauses partially repealing or amending former acts, the final sense of the legislature becomes enveloped in unintelligible or contradictory expressions. Where opportunity offers, the law thus expressed in many statutes is sometimes recast in a single statute, called a Consolidation Act. Among such are acts dealing with the customs, stamps and stamp duties, public health, weights and measures, sheriffs, coroners, county courts, housing, municipal corporations, libraries, trustees, copyhold, diseases of animals, merchant shipping, friendly societies, &c. These observations apply to the public general acts of the legislature. On the other hand, in settling private acts, such as those relating to railway and canal enterprise, the legislature always inserted certain clauses founded on reasons of public policy applicable to the business in question. To avoid the necessity of constantly re enacting the same principles in private acts, their common clauses were embodied in separate statutes, and their provisions are ordered to be incorporated in any private act of the description mentioned therein. Such are the Lands Clauses Acts, the Companies Clauses Acts and the Railways Clauses Acts . References 1911 Category Law ... more details
The Calico Acts 1690 1721 banned the import of textiles into England , followed by the restriction of sale of most cotton textiles. The English East India Company quickly embraced the demand for Calico textile calico , importing exotic textiles from around the globe into England and creating competition for domestic textile factories. The calico question was one of the major issues of National politics between the 1690s and the 1720s. Parliament began to see a decline in domestic textile sales, and an increase in imported textiles from places like China and India . Seeing the East India Company and their textile importation as a threat to domestic textile businesses, Parliament passed the Calico Acts as an attack on textile importation. Dissatisfied with the smuggling of outside textiles after the original Calico Acts in 1721 , Parliament passed a stricter addition to the original Calico Acts, this time, prohibiting the sale of most cottons, imported and domestic, and promoting the sale of wool.

The Acts of Paul is one of the major works and earliest pseudepigraphal noncanonical series from the New Testament also known as Apocryphal Acts, an approximate date given to the Acts of Paul is 160 CE. ref Jones, Timothy Paul Misquoting Truth , page 167. InterVarsity Press, 2007. ref The Acts were first mentioned by Tertullian. Tertullian found it heretical because it encouraged women to preach and baptize. The Acts were considered orthodox by Hippolytus writer Hippolytus , but were eventually regarded as heretical when the Manichaeans started using the texts. The author of the Acts of Paul is unknown and wrote out of respect for Paul, in Asia Minor.

unreferenced date September 2011 wikisource After the end of the confederate civil war , as part of the on going process of Reconstruction era of the United States Reconstruction , the United States Congress passed four statutes known as Reconstruction Acts . Fulfillment of the requirements of the Acts were necessary for the former Confederate States of America Confederate States to be readmitted to the Union. The Acts excluded Texas, which had already ratified the 13th amendment and had been readmitted to the Union. A key feature of the Acts included the creation of five military districts in the South, each commanded by a general, which would serve as the acting government for the region. In addition, Congress required that each state draft a new state constitution, which would have to be approved by Congress. The states also were required to ratify the Fourteenth Amendment and grant voting rights to black men. President Andrew Johnson s vetoes of these measures were overridden by Congress. After Ex Parte McCardle 1867 came before the Supreme Court, Congress feared that the Court might strike the Reconstruction Acts down as unconstitutional. To prevent this, Congress repealed the Habeas Corpus Act of 1867 , revoking to the Supreme Court s jurisdiction over the case.

None of them were accepted into the Biblical canon . The language and the ecclesiastical politics of Acts of Barnabas reveal it to be a work of the 5th century, designed to strengthen the claims of the church of Cyprus to apostolic foundation as the site of Barnabas grave, and therefore of its bishops independence from the patriarch of Antioch . These are 5th century concerns, the independence of the Church of Cyprus having been declared by the First Council of Ephesus in 431 and confirmed by Emperor Zeno emperor Zeno in 488.
