USEFUL COLLECTION OF FORMS, ESPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR NEWLY BY LOUIS GACHES, L.L.M., B.A., OF THE INNER TEMPLE, ESQ., BARRISTER-AT-LAW. LONDON: BUTTERWORTHS, 7, FLEET STREET, DUBLIN: HODGES, FOSTER & CO. EDINBURGH: T. & T. CLARK; BELL & BRADFUTE. 1875. PREFACE. THIS Work has been prepared on the suggestion of several professional gentlemen by whom I have been engaged in relation to municipal matters. Up to the present time no cheap work furnishing a simple exposition of the municipal and sanitary functions of the Council has been published. This volume will be found to supply the necessary information in a popular form at a fourth of the outlay which has hitherto been required. The powers of the Council, with respect to the supply of water and drainage, I have stated fully; also the proceedings connected with the poll, corrupt practices, and election petitions. I have added information required for the purpose of obtaining the grant of a charter of incorporation, and the forms necessary for the purpose, together with a general collection of forms, which will be found especially adapted for newly-incorporated boroughs. 1, ELM COURT, Temple, January, 1875.
