List Of Acts Of The First Legislative Council Of New South Wales
This is a list of the Acts of the Legislative Council of the Colony of New South Wales which was established by the New South Wales Act 1823 (UK).
The numbers after the titles of the acts are chapter numbers. Acts before 1897 were referenced using the 'Year of reign' of the reigning monarch, an abrievation for the name of the 'Monarch', and a "c" number being a 'Chapter number' — e.g. 7 Geo IV c. 2 — to define a chapter of the appropriate statute book.
Since 1897, acts have been consequently numbered from 1 each year, so that the first act of 1897 was "Act 1 of 1897".
Note: This is a work in progress.

“Do your children view themselves as successes or failures? Are they being encouraged to be inquisitive or passive? Are they afraid to challenge authority and to question assumptions? Do they feel comfortable adapting to change? Are they easily discouraged if they cannot arrive at a solution to a problem?

“Daughter to that good Earl, once President
Of England’s Council and her Treasury,
Who lived in both, unstain’d with gold or fee,
And left them both, more in himself content.
Till the sad breaking of that Parliament
Broke him, as that dishonest victory
At Chaeronea, fatal to liberty,
Kill’d with report that old man eloquent;—”
