Sale of Gas (Scotland) Act 1864

The Sales of Gas (Scotland) Act 1864 (27 & 28 Vict. c. 96) is an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom to amend the law relating to the sales of gas in Scotland.  

Background

The Act for regulating measures used in Sales of Gas (22 & 23 Vict c. 66) and the Act to Amend the Act for regulating measures used in Sales of Gas (23 & 24 Vict. c. 146) had allowed Royal Burghs not being County Towns to avail themselves of the provisions of the Acts. Certain Royal Burghs were not coextensive with Parliamentary boundaries and therefore the provisions would not apply to the whole district.[1]
