Subsequent developments
[edit]The words "This act to continue to the end of the first Session of the next Parliament" at the end of the act were repealed by section 1 of, and the schedule to, the Statute Law Revision Act 1863 (26 & 27 Vict. c. 125), which came into force on 28 July 1863.[1]
The words from "that such bill plaint or information" to "Provided further." were repealed by section 2 of, and the schedule to, the Public Authorities Protection Act 1893 (56 & 57 Vict. c. 61), which came into force on 1 January 1894.[2]
The words of commencement and the words "by any constable or churchwarden" were repealed by section 1 of, and the first schedule to, the Statute Law Revision Act 1948 (11 & 12 Geo. 6. c. 62), which came into force on 30 July 1948.[3]
The words from "All which forfeitures" to "forfeiture" were repealed by section 46(2) of, and part III of schedule 7 to, the Justices of the Peace Act 1949 (12, 13 & 14 Geo. 6. c. 101), which came into force on 16 December 1949. This repeal was specifically enacted through section 46(2) of the act, along with part III of schedule 7, which collectively removed these provisions from the legal framework, reflecting changes in legislative priorities or legal practices at the time.[4]
