Talk:List of Acts of Parliament of the United Kingdom Parliament, 1800–1899

Please explain
What does the c. with number mean after most entries? Common Man 12:05, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Basically, it's a numbering system so 1801 c. 1 would be the first act passed in the session of parliament in 1801. It is explained in the article Act of Parliament

"Acts before 1962 are referenced using 'Year of reign', 'Monarch', c., 'Chapter number' - e.g. 16 Charles II c. 2 - to define a chapter of the appropriate statute book. Since 1962, the regnal year has been replaced by the calendar year. All recent Acts have a short title, or citation (e.g. Local Government Act 2003, National Health Service Act 1974)."

It's probably worth adding to the list in the intro paragraph though. Kurando 10:36, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
