How Can We Help?
The Telegraph Act 1868[1] (31 & 32 Vict. c. 110) was an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It paved the way for the British state to take over telegraph companies and/or their operations.
It has been effectively repealed (only section 1, providing the short title remains in force).
It was one of Post Office Acts 1837 to 1895.[2]
