Multiple issues wikify October 2010 orphan February 2009 update October 2010 CONSOLIDATION ACTS To consolidate Latin consolidare, from con , together, and solidus, firm is to press compactly together, put on a firm basis, and especially bring together into one strong whole. The practice of legislating for small portions of a subject only at a time, which is characteristic of the English parliament, produces as a necessary consequence great confusion in the statute law. The acts relating to any subject of importance or difficulty will be found to be scattered over many years, and through the operation of clauses partially repealing or amending former acts, the final sense of the legislature becomes enveloped in unintelligible or contradictory expressions. Where opportunity offers, the law thus expressed in many statutes is sometimes recast in a single statute, called a Consolidation Act. Among such are acts dealing with the customs, stamps and stamp duties, public health, weights and measures, sheriffs, coroners, county courts, housing, municipal corporations, libraries, trustees, copyhold, diseases of animals, merchant shipping, friendly societies, &c. These observations apply to the public general acts of the legislature. On the other hand, in settling private acts, such as those relating to railway and canal enterprise, the legislature always inserted certain clauses founded on reasons of public policy applicable to the business in question. To avoid the necessity of constantly re enacting the same principles in private acts, their common clauses were embodied in separate statutes, and their provisions are ordered to be incorporated in any private act of the description mentioned therein. Such are the Lands Clauses Acts, the Companies Clauses Acts and the Railways Clauses Acts . References 1911 Category Law ... more details
The Acts of Peter is one of the earliest of the apocrypha l Acts of the Apostles genre Acts of the Apostles . The majority of the text has survived only in the Latin translation of the Vercelli manuscript . It is mainly notable for a description of a miracle contest between Saint Peter and Simon Magus , and as the first record of the tradition that St. Peter was Cross of St. Peter crucified head down . The Acts of Peter was originally composed in Greek during the second half of the 2nd century, probably in Asia Minor . ref http wesley.nnu.edu biblical studies noncanon acts actpete.htm ref Consensus among academics points to it being based on the Acts of John , and traditionally both works were said to be written by Leucius Charinus , whom Epiphanius of Salamis Epiphanius identifies as the companion of John. In the text Peter performs miracles such as resurrecting smoked fish, and making dogs talk. The text condemns Simon Magus, a figure associated with gnosticism , who appears to have concerned the writer of the text greatly. Peter preaches that Simon is performing magic in order to convert followers through deception. In Peter s outrage, he challenges Simon Magnus to a contest in order to prove whose works are from a divine source and whose are merely trickery. Some versions give accounts of stories on the theme of a woman women who prefer paralysis to sex , sometimes, including in a version from the Berlin Codex , the woman is the daughter of Peter. It concludes describing Peter s martyrdom as upside down crucifixion, a tradition that is first attested in this work.

The Acts of Paul is one of the major works from the New Testament apocrypha , an approximate date given to the Acts of Paul is 160 CE. ref Jones, Timothy Paul Misquoting Truth , page 167. InterVarsity Press, 2007. ref The Acts were considered orthodox by Hippolytus writer Hippolytus , but were eventually regarded as heretical when the Manichaeans started using the texts. The discovery of a Coptic language Coptic version of the text, demonstrated that the text was composed of the Acts of Paul and Thecla the Epistle of the Corinthians to Paul the Third Epistle to the Corinthians the Martyrdom of Paul his death at the hand of Nero All of these constituent parts were often considered worth treating as separate texts, and frequently appeared independently, although scholars agree that they were originally part of the Acts of Paul . Besides the four main sections mentioned above, the remainder of the Acts exist only in fragments from the 3rd and 5th centuries The healing of Hermocrates from Edema dropsy The strife of the Ephesus Ephesian beasts The texts are a coherent whole, and generally thought to have been written by one author using oral traditions, rather than basing it on any of the other apocrypha or the orthodox canon. The main emphasis of the text is on Chastity and anti Gnosticism . According to Tertullian , the author was a priest in Asia Minor. The Epistle of the Corinthians to Paul and the Third Epistle of the Corinthians both appear in some editions of the Armenian Bible.

orphan date December 2008 The Calico Acts 1690 1721 banned the import of textiles into England , followed by the restriction of sale of most cotton textiles. The English East India Company quickly embraced the demand for Calico textile calico , importing exotic textiles from around the globe into England and creating competition for domestic textile factories. The calico question was one of the major issues of National politics between the 1690s and the 1720s. Parliament began to see a decline in domestic textile sales, and an increase in imported textiles from places like China and India . Seeing the East India Company and their textile importation as a threat to domestic textile businesses, Parliament passed the Calico Acts as an attack on textile importation. Dissatisfied with the smuggling of outside textiles after the original Calico Acts in 1721 , Parliament passed a stricter addition to the original Calico Acts, this time, prohibiting the sale of most cottons, imported and domestic, and promoting the sale of wool.

The text of the pseudepigraphy pseudepigraphical Acts of Barnabas claims to identify its author as John, surnamed Mark John Mark , the companion of Paul, as if writing an account of Barnabas , the Cypriot Jew who was a member of the earliest church at Jerusalem through the services of Barnabas the convert Saul was welcomed into the apostolic community. Three pseudepigraphical works are linked with the name of Barnabas the Epistle of Barnabas , written between AD 70 and 135, this Acts and the medieval forgery Gospel of Barnabas . None of them were accepted into the Biblical canon . The language and the ecclesiastical politics of Acts of Barnabas reveal it to be a work of the 5th century, designed to strengthen the claims of the church of Cyprus to apostolic foundation as the site of Barnabas grave, and therefore of its bishops independence from the patriarch of Antioch . These are 5th century concerns, the independence of the Church of Cyprus having been declared by the First Council of Ephesus in 431 and confirmed by Emperor Zeno emperor Zeno in 488.
