    PREFACE As this book is to some extent a companion volume to Clarke-Hall and Morrison’s “ Law Relating to Children and Young Persons ’”’, the publishers thought it not unfitting that I should be associated with its authorship, and that Mr. Banwell, who had already collaborated with me in two editions and two supplements to that work, should again do so. The annotation of the statutes is, however, the work of Miss Wells, and the introductory note to the Children Act was written by Colonel Eton; and to these two belong the major share of credit for whatever merits the book possesses. Mr. Banwell has given particular attention to that which concerns the work of the Juvenile Courts. My part has been to consider what they have written, to make a few changes and suggestions which, I hope, have been of some help, and to ensure con- tinuity with the earlier work. New statutes like the Children Act and the Nurseries and Child- Minders Regulation Act, are sure to provide problems for local authorities and their officers, magistrates, clerks and social workers in many spheres. It is hoped that these may find the full annotations, copious cross-references and citation of relevant statutory provisions and decided cases, of some service in their task of making the new Acts work satisfactorily.
