The Second Edition of this Supplement, which I have compiled with the kind permission of Lord Justice Cherrv, using the previous edition as a basis, contains the Statutes and all Rules now in force dealing with Land Purchase in Ireland, passed or made since the third edition of Lord Justice Cherry's book on the Irish Land Law and Land Purchase Acts was published in 1902.

This volume is intended to replace the previous Supplement. which has been rendered obsolete by the numerous changes which have recently been made. Since 1906 four more Statutes have been added to the Irish Land Purchase Code; the latest the Irish Land Act of 1909 has made many important alterations: the rate of purchase annuities has been increased, the bonus has been fixed upon a sliding scale, wide powers of Compulsory Purchase have been conferred upon the Estates Commissioners. Most of the original rules have been superseded by new rules embodying amendments and additions consequential upon legislative changes, or shown by experience to be desirable.
