Arrangement
Although this set is reasonably comprehensive there are certain gaps some of which can be filled by reference to RAIL 1063 to 1065. Four volumes of indexes, c1720-1940, refer to 133 Volumes of acts, and most of these can be readily identified. It should be noted however that the collection is not complete. If a reader fails to find the act he requires, reference should be made (progressively) through RAIL 1063-1065. If the searcher is still unsuccessful, it is then recommended he consult the House of Lords Record Office collection of acts.
