Some earlier Acts that originally lacked a short title were given one by later legislation, most notably by the Short Titles Act 1896; also, since the independence of the Irish state in 1922, an Act may have a different short title in the United Kingdom and in the Republic of Ireland because of the different legislation passed in the two states.
Short titles were subsequently given to many unrepealed Acts at later dates; for example, the Bill of Rights (1688 or 1689) was given that short title by the Short Titles Act 1896, having until then only been known formally known by its long title, An Act Declaring the Rights and Liberties of the Subject and Settling the Succession of the Crown.
