Banns of marriage
Banns of marriage. 'Banns' is the plural of 'Bann' or 'Ban,' an edict or prohibition. The Prayer Book of 1662 directed banns of marriage to be published in church 'three several Sundays or Holy Days immediately before the sentences for the offertory' (this was in the Rubric prefixed to the Form of Solemnisation), but also after the Nicene Creed, together with many other notices separated from those sentences by the sermon (this direction was in the Rubric following the Nicene Creed, and the two directions do not seem quite consistent). In 1753 (English) Lord Hardwicke's Act (26 Geo. 2, c. 33), directed publication during morning service, or evening service if there be no morning service, immediately after the Second Lesson; and about 1809 the Rubrics were altered by the king's printers of their own motion to bring them into agreement with Lord Hardwicke's Act, which, however, may possibly have referred in its alteration to the evening service only. The (English) Marriage Act, 1823 (4 G...

Statutory Rules and Orders
Statutory Rules and Orders. Very numerous Acts of Parliament, especially those passed in recent years, empower the Sovereign in Council, some Govern-ment Department, or Courts of Justice, to make rules, having the same effect as the statute under which they are made, to regulate details left unprovided for by such statute. Thus, there are the Bankruptcy Rules regulating the practice under the Bankruptcy Acts; the Rules of the Supreme Court, regulating the practice of the High Court and the Court of Appeal; Orders of the Ministries of Health, Labour, etc., and Orders of the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, under the (English) Diseases of Animals Act, 1894, and other Acts; and hundreds of other rules, orders, and regulations, in some cases requiring to be laid before Parliament, and in other cases not, and in some cases required to be published in the London, Edinburgh, or Dublin Gazette, and in others not.The (English) Rules Publication Act 1893 (56 & 57 Vict. c. 66), directs that...
