List of acts of the Parliament of the United Kingdom from 1879

This is a list of acts of the Parliament of the United Kingdom passed in the calendar year 1879 and the session of the 42nd and 43rd years of the reign of Queen Victoria (42 & 43 Vict). It was the sixth session of the twenty-first Parliament of the United Kingdom.[1] Sources published during the regnal year 42 Vict refer to this session as 42 Vict,[2] because, at that time, it was not known when the session would end.[3]

During this session the Parliament of the United Kingdom passed 78 public general acts; 41 public acts of a local character, which were placed amongst the local and personal acts;[4] 225 local acts; and 8 private acts printed by the Queen's Printer.[5][6]

The number shown after each act's short title or popular title is its chapter number. Acts passed before 1963 are cited using this number, preceded by the year(s) of the reign during which the relevant parliamentary session was held. Most but not all of these acts have a short title. Some have a short title given to them by later acts, such as by the Short Titles Act 1896.
