THE HE first volume of this Collection, which has but recently been issued, contains the Statutes relating to India up to the end of the year 1870. This volume brings the Collection up to date and has been prepared on the same lines as its predecessor. The two Appendices to the first volume (giving a list of Statutes affected by legislation in India, and a table of the various Statute Law Revision Acts which have been passed by Parliament) would have been reserved for inclusion in this volume had its early issue been anticipated. A fresh index for both volumes has been added at the end of this. The Coinage Act, 1870 (33 & 31 Vict, c. 10), would have been included in the first volume, had it been issued after the decision to apply that Statute to India and provide for the coinage of gold in this country. It has now been reproduced as an Appendix to this volume, the amending Act of 1891 (54 & 55 Vict., c. 72), being printed in its proper place therein. SIMLA ; The 15th October, 1899. H. W. C.
