Talk:Orders in Council (1807)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I see this page is to be cleaned up... I'm not sure how to go about it, but the title of the page is wrong. What is being referred to as an 'Order of Council' is in fact a species of Order-in-Council. An Order of Council, by contrast, tends to be a byelaw of a body which is regulated by the Privy Council.
The author is referring to one use of the Royal Prerogative, exercised by way of Order-in-Council. This website is quite helpful, and provides links to the actual Orders: http://www.napoleon-series.org/research/government/british/decrees/c_britdecrees1.html. Hope this helps...
