This section collects miscellaneous statutes, some transcribed by myself, others found around the web. This is not the repository of the statutes transcribed from digitized editions, rather an unsystematic and random collection.
Where possible, each act comes in the format of regnal code and the titles long and short, the main text without marginal annotations, and a notes section giving source, links for further information and other comments.
