9.73 A further ground for repealing the 1880 Act is that, since the establishment <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Irish Free State in 1922, the Act remains on the statute book <strong>of</strong> the United<br />

Kingdom without having any effect within the United Kingdom. On this basis,<br />

seven other enactments relating to the company may also be repealed. These<br />

are the 1876 and 1878 Acts referred to above, the Southern Railway Act 1865, 128<br />

the Southern Railway (Deviation and Branches) Act 1866, 129 the Southern<br />

Railway (Additional Powers) Act 1871, 130 the Southern Railway (Extension and<br />

Further Powers) Act 1873 (referred to above) and the Southern Railway (Further<br />

Powers) Act 1874. 131 All these Acts remain in force within the Republic <strong>of</strong> Ireland<br />

and their status there will not be affected by their repeal within the United<br />

Kingdom.<br />

9.74 The South Essex Railway Act 1865 132 was passed to authorise the South Essex<br />

Railway Company to construct railways in the Shenfield area <strong>of</strong> Essex. The<br />

powers given by the 1865 Act were extended by the South Essex Railway Act<br />

1866. 133<br />

9.75 In the event, the railway project was abandoned. On 8 May 1874 a Board <strong>of</strong><br />

Trade warrant was issued ordering that the railway should be abandoned. 134 The<br />

company itself was wound up later in 1874. 135 Accordingly both the 1865 and<br />

1866 Acts have become obsolete.<br />

(31) Sunningdale and Cambridge Town Railway Company<br />

9.76 The Sunningdale and Cambridge Town Railway Act 1864 136 was passed to<br />

authorise the Sunningdale and Cambridge Town Railway Company to construct a<br />

extended by the Sunningdale and Cambridge Town Railway (Extensions) Act<br />

1865 137 and the Sunningdale and Cambridge Town Railway (Alterations) Act<br />
