PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION.
T HESE Volumes contain all the information I have been able
to collect concerning the British Enactments in force in
the Native States in India. 1
2. The term “ British Enactments,” as used in these volumes,
includes—
(I) the Enactments made by the British Legislature in
exercise of the general jurisdiction which it possesses
over its subjects and servants in all Native States,
and
(ii) the Enactments made by or under the authority of
the British Indian Executive Government in exer
cise of the special jurisdiction which it has acquired,
usually over all persons, in certain Native States or
places therein.
3. 2 The distinction between these two classes of Enactments
has been observed in classifying the British Enactments in force
in the Native States dealt with in these volumes, the Enactments
in force in each local area having been placed under separate
heads according as they belong to one or other of these classes.
Enactments which purport to be solely made under the authority
of the Legislature, or which appear to be limited to the classes of
persons with which the Legislature can deal, have been arranged
under one head and styled “ British-Indian Enactments whilst
Enactments which purport to be made, in whole or in part, under
the special authority of the Executive Government above de
scribed, or which do not appear to be limited to the classes of
1 i.e., the territories of any Native Prince or Chief under the suzerainty of Her Majesty
exercised through the Governor-General of India, or through any Governor or other officer subor
dinate to the Governor-General of India —see 52 and 53 Viet., cap. 63, s. 18 (5).
2 There are certain exceptions to the general rules laid down in this paragraph, which are
poticed in the body of the Lists.
