The session 41 & 42 Vict was the fifth session of the twenty-first Parliament of the United Kingdom. [1] Sources published during the regnal year 41 Vict refer to this session as 41 Vict, [2] because, at that time, it was not known when the session would end. [3]
During the year 1878 and the session 41 & 42 Vict, the Parliament of the United Kingdom passed 79 public general acts; 32 public acts of a local character, which were placed amongst the local and personal acts; [4] 238 local acts; and 7 private acts printed by the Queen's Printer. [5] [6]
The number shown after each act's short title or popular title is its chapter number. Acts passed before 1963 are cited using this number, preceded by the year(s) of the reign during which the relevant parliamentary session was held.
Most of these acts have a short title. Some of these acts have never had a short title. Some of these acts have a short title given to them by later acts, such as by the Short Titles Act 1896.
