The Shop-books Evidence Act 1609 [a] (7 Jas. 1. c. 12) was an act of the Parliament of England.
The act was continued until the end of the next parliamentary session by the Continuance of Laws, etc. Act 1623 (21 Jas. 1. c. 28).
The words "This Act to contynue to the end of the first Session of the next Parliament and noe longer" at the end of the act were repealed by section 1 of, and the schedule to, the Statute Law Revision Act 1863 (26 & 27 Vict.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). The footnote to this repeal says that these words are from section 3 in Ruffhead's Edition. [1]
In section 1, the words of commencement, and the words "hereafter to be" wherever occurring, were repealed by section 1 of, and schedule 1 to, the Statute Law Revision Act 1948 (11 & 12 Geo. 6. c. 62).
