View source for The Laws and Ordinances of the Cities Ankh and Morpork

This is the book given to [[Carrot Ironfoundersson]] by local [[Copperhead]] trader, Mr. [[Varneshi]], when he is sent to [[Ankh-Morpork]] to become a [[Ankh-Morpork City Watch|Watchman]]. He is told that 'You have to know all the laws to be a good officer.' Carrot is nothing if not literal-minded, so he sets out to memorize the thick volume.

Some of the Laws upheld by Carrot have included:

*Conspiracy to Commit Crime, Section 14 (iii) of the General Felonies Act 1678
*Serving alcohol after midnight, Public Ale Houses (Opening) Act 1678
*Improper containers, Public Ale Houses (Opening) Act 1678
*Unsheathed edged weapons, Section 3  of Public Ale Houses (Opening) Act 1678
*Public Foregatherings (Gambling) Act, 1567
*Licensed Premises (Hygiene) Acts of 1433, 1456, 1463, 1465, 1470 through 1690
*Domestic and Domesticated Animals (Care and Protection) Act, 1673

most of which were previously unheard of by everyone in Ankh-Morpork, including the Watch.

It was given to the [[Librarian]] by Vimes at the end of {{G!G!}} along with [[The Summoning of Dragons]]. He told him to hide them both  within the [[Library]] where no one will be able to find it.

However, by {{MAA}} Carrot seemed to have got it back again, and consulted it to find out under what circumstances citizens could form a militia. Either that or he has actually managed to memorize it.
