3. Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) |
ORDINANCE, legislation. A law, a statute, a decree.
2. This word is more usually applied to the laws of a corporation, than
to the acts of the legislature; as the ordinances of the city of
Philadelphia. The following account of the difference between a statute and
an ordinance is extracted from Bac. Ab. Statute, A. "Where the proceeding
consisted only of a petition from parliament, and an answer from the king,
these were entered on the parliament roll; and if the matter was of a public
nature, the whole was then styled an ordinance; if, however, the petition
and answer were not only of a public, but a novel nature, they were then
formed into an act by the king, with the aid of his council and judges, and
entered on the statute roll." See Harg. & But. Co. Litt. l59 b, notis; 3
Reeves, Hist. Eng. Law, 146.
3. According to Lord Coke, the difference between a statute and an
ordinance is, that the latter has not had the assent of the king, lords, and
commons, but is made merely by two of those powers. 4 Inst. 25. See Barr. on
Stat. 41, note (x).
