The Short Titles Act 1896 (59 & 60 Vict c 14) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It replaces the Short Titles Act 1892. This Act was retained for the Republic of Ireland by section 2(2)(a) of, and Part 4 of Schedule 1 to, the Statute Law Revision Act 2007. In that country, this Act is one of the Short Titles Acts 1896 to 2007. Section 1 and Schedule 1 authorised the citation of 2,095 earlier Acts by short titles. The Acts given short titles were passed between 1351 and 1893. This Act gave short titles to all public general Acts passed since the Union of England and Scotland and then in force, which had not already been given short titles, except for those omitted from the Revised Edition of the Statutes by reason of their local or personal character. In 1995, the Law Commission and the Scottish Law Commission recommended that section 1 and Schedule 1 be repealed. Section 1 and Schedule 1 were repealed by section 1(1) of, and Part IV of Schedule 1 to, the Statute Law (Repeals) Act 1995. Notwithstanding these repeals, such citations are still authorized by section 19(2) of the Interpretation Act 1978. Section 3 This section was repealed by section 25(1) of, and Schedule 3 to, the Interpretation Act 1978. It is replaced by section 19(2) of that Act. Section 4 This section repealed the Short Titles Act 1892. It was in turn repealed by section 1 of, and the Schedule to, the Statute Law Revision Act 1908. Schedule 1 Section 1 of, and the Schedule to, the Statute Law Revision Act 1908 repealed the entries relating to the following Acts: Linen and Hempen Manufactories (Scotland) Act 1726 13 Geo 1 c 26 Fisheries (Scotland) Act 1726 13 Geo 1 c 30 Justices Qualification Act 1731 5 Geo 2 c 18 Justices Qualification Act 1744 18 Geo 2 c 20 Marine Insurance Act 1745 19 Geo 2 c 37 Inclosure Act 1756 29 Geo 2 c 36 Inclosure Act 1757 31 Geo 2 c 41 Inclosure (Consolidation) Act 1801 41 Geo 3 UK c 109 Inclosure Act 1821 1 & 2 Geo 4 c 23 Royal Burghs (Scotland) Act 1822 3 Geo 4 c 91 Masters and Workmen Arbitration Act 1824 5 Geo 4 c 96 Quarantine Act 1825 6 Geo 4 c 78 Licensing (Scotland) Act 1828 9
