Also there shall be repealed the following enactments making breaches of contract criminal, and relating to the recovery of wages by summary procedure (that is to say), (a.) An Act passed in the fifth year of the reign of Queen Elizabeth, chapter four, and intituled "An Act touching dyvers orders for artificers, labourers, servantes of husbandrye, and apprentices ;" and (b.) So much of section two of an Act passed in the twelfth year of King George the First, chapter thirty-four, and intituled "An Act to prevent unlawful combination of workmen employed in the woollen manufactures and for better payment of their wages," relates to departing from service and quitting or returning work before it is finished; and as (c.) Section twenty of an Act passed in the fifth year of King George the Third, chapter fiftyone, the title of which begins with the words "An Act for repealing several Laws relating to the manufacture of woollen cloth in the county of York," and ends with the words "for preserving the credit of the said manufacture at the foreign market; " and (d.)

Several persons referring to the "Employers and Workmen Act, 1875" (38 & 39 Vict. c. 90) passed in substitution for the "Master and Servant Act, 1867," and finding no reference to the former Act made in the later one, have been in doubt whether the former Act was not still in force. Several questions on the subject have been asked in "The Justice of the Peace." (ff) As these unrepealed portions of the 33 Geo. 3, c. 55, and of the 59 Geo. 3. c. 92, have relation only to constables, overseers, and parish officers, there is no necessity to refer to them in this work. (gg) 5 & 6 VICT., C. 7.—This Act extended the provisions of the 20 Geo. 2. c. 19; 33 Geo. 3. c. 55; 4 Geo. 4. c. 29 and 32 Geo. 3, c. 57, to cases of Apprentices where no premium was paid.
