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 Most of the original rules have been superseded by new rules embodying amendments and additions consequential upon legislative changes, or shown by experience to be desirable.
