Text of statute as originally enacted |
The act included a schedule in three parts listing earlier acts of Parliament:
Parts I and II of the schedule were repealed by the Statute Law Revision Act 1908.[3]
No order was made under the 1888 act which would have repealed the schedule part III statutes; instead they were all repealed in the UK by the Administration of Justice (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1938, which abolished all outlawry proceedings.[4][5]
The rest of the act was repealed in the UK by the Statute Law (Repeals) Act 1989,[6] but retained in the Republic of Ireland by the Statute Law Revision Act 2007.[7]
