<p class="whitespace-normal break-words" style="text-align:center;">RULES, DATED FEBRUARY 22, 1878, MADE BY THE COMMITTEE OF COUNCIL IN PURSUANCE OF THE FIFTH SECTION OF THE CROWN OFFICE ACT, 1877.</p>
<p class="whitespace-normal break-words">Whereas, by an Act passed in the 41st year of Her Majesty's reign, intituled "An Act for making provision with respect "to the preparation and authentication of Commissions and "other Documents issued from the Office of the Clerk of the "Crown in Chancery, and for other purposes," it is enacted as follows:—</p>
<p class="whitespace-normal break-words">A Committee of Her Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council, consisting of the Lord Chancellor of Great Britain for the time being, the Lord Privy Seal for the time being, and one of Her Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State (in the said Act referred to as the Committee of Council), acting in case of difference according to the opinion of any two of them, may from time to time direct impressions with the same device as the Great Seal and of the Privy Seal to be taken in such manner and of such size or sizes as they may from time to time prescribe, on embossed paper, wax, wafer, or any other material; and any such impressions (in the said Act respectively called a "Wafer Great Seal" and a "Wafer Privy Seal") shall be in the same custody as the seals of which they are impressions, and when attached to or embossed on any document required to be or usually authenticated by or passed under the Great Seal or Privy Seal, shall confer on that document the same validity in all respects as if the document itself had been authenticated by or passed under the Great Seal or Privy Seal;<br /><br /></p>
<p class="whitespace-normal break-words">The Committee of Council aforesaid, acting in case of difference according to the opinion of any two of them, may by order make and (when made) from time to time revoke, add to, or alter rules:—</p>
<p class="whitespace-normal break-words">(1.) Providing for a record to be kept at the Crown Office of all justices of the peace appointed in pursuance of any commission of the peace issued by Her Majesty, and for the rectification of such record from time to time; and</p>
<p class="whitespace-normal break-words">(2.) Prescribing the documents to which the Wafer Great Seal and the Wafer Privy Seal respectively are to be attached; and</p>
<p class="whitespace-normal break-words">(3.) Prescribing the mode in which documents to which this Act applies are to be prepared, whether printed or written, or partly printed and partly written, and whether to be printed or written on paper, parchment, or any other fitting material: Provided that—</p>
<p class="whitespace-normal break-words">(<em>a.</em>) It shall not be necessary to the validity of any document to or on which a Wafer Great Seal or a Wafer Privy Seal is attached or embossed, to prove that the attachment or embossing of such wafer seals respectively was authorised, and no evidence to the contrary shall be received; and</p>
<p class="whitespace-normal break-words">(<em>b.</em>) Engrossing may in all cases be dispensed with, and, so far as seems to the Committee of Council convenient, printing shall be adopted in place of writing.</p>

<p class="whitespace-normal break-words">Provided always, that if any particular case or cases it shall be found more convenient to pass any of such documents under the Great Seal in the manner hitherto accustomed, the Lord Chancellor may direct the same to be done accordingly.</p>
<p class="whitespace-normal break-words" style="text-align:center;">Rule 2.</p>
<p class="whitespace-normal break-words">All commissions of the peace shall be printed on parchment, with blanks to be filled up in writing:—</p>
