V.V. O.T. : Date of Easter Sunday

[Dr J R Stockton]

Does anyone here have access to the current authoritative _printed_ UK Law on the date of Easter Sunday? It appears in the Annex to the Calendar (New Style) Act (1750 c.23), as amended to date.

I am only interested in the law as disseminated by printing in ink on paper; I am not interested in purely electronic versions, just in what is written in authoritative books or similar.

I am not interested in finding the Prayer Book version; I have a Prayer Book, and the local Church has some too.

I have not managed to discover when the Act, or that part of it, was last amended; other things being equal, provided that the legal book clearly incorporates that amendment, the earlier the book the better. I have links to scans of copies of ancient versions.

Please do not send me images as yet : reply either here with a valid E- mail address or to the address obtained by using a J and an R in the pseudo-address in my sig.

Is

any use? (Starts at bottom of page 186)

This link tells you that there are no changes pending so the Act is still in force.

I don't know why you are so insistent on a paper copy since it will tell you nothing that is not apparent from the above link. Perhaps you could explain why you feel the printed version is a better source.

Thanks, but Statutes at Large 1765 is far too old for current Law; and I ha ve had that URL since 2008-04-23, link verified 2011-11-16. One might pref er the display at .

I want to know what is in something like the latest, or the latest pre-elec tronic, "The Complete Statutes of England Classified and Annotated in Conti nuation of Halsbury's Laws of England and for ready reference entitled Hals bury's Statutes of England"; or in the truly authoritative copies held by t he Houses of Parliament and I believe by the Royal Family at Windsor.

But anything post-Victorian could be of interest; and anything from the pre sent Reign.

The text must be from traditionally-printed material; but a link to a trust worthy scanned copy would be equally useful and easier to quote.

I really need a whole-Web search engine that can read images of text!

BTW, I already have the link - it clearly show s the same paper as was shown at , as it has a matching smudge; but it may be a re-scan, as the "paper" looks a shade w hiter.

Tim - I've already tried uk.l.m. Peter - it might be correct.
