The session 39 & 40 Vict was the third session of the
twenty-first Parliament of the United Kingdom.[1] Sources published during the
regnal year 39 Vict refer to this session as 39 Vict,[2] because, at that time, it was not known when the session would end.[3]
The number shown after each act's short title, popular title or long title is its chapter number. Acts passed before 1963 are cited using this number, preceded by the year(s) of the reign during which the relevant parliamentary session was held.
Some of these acts have a short title. Some of these acts have never had a short title. Some of these acts have a short title given to them by later acts, such as by the Short Titles Act 1896.
