Some of them are named afler the places where they were passed, as the Stat, of Westminster. Others are called after the subject matter, as the Stat, of Wales and Ireland, and others again are referred to by the initial word, as the Stat, of Quia Emptores. Of late the Statutes are cited by mentioning the year of the king's reign, the king and chapter. When two sessions of Parliament have been held in the same year, the acts are referred to as Stat. 1 or 2, e. g. 1 W. & M., St. 2, c. 2, meaning that the reference is to the second chapter or act of the second statute of the first of Wil- liam and Mary.
