Text of statute as originally enacted

The act empowered Justices of Assize, justices of the peace or county sheriffs to bind over vagabonds for good behaviour, or to commit them to the assizes if sureties could not be given.

The effect of this act was modified by a proclamation of 18 February 1493, which is included in the patent roll PR (C66/574/4d),[7][8] and by the act 11 Hen. 7. c. 2 (1495)[9][10]

The act was extended to Ireland by Poyning's Law (10 Hen. 7. c. 22 (I)).[11]

The act was repealed as to vagabonds by the act 39 Eliz. 1. c. 4 (1597).[12] The act was repealed as to England by section 11 of the act 21 Jas. 1. c. 28 (1623).[13] The act was virtually repealed by the Vagrancy (Ireland) Act 1847 (10 & 11 Vict. c. 84).[14] The act was repealed as to Ireland by section 1 of, and the Schedule to, the Statute Law (Ireland) Revision Act 1872 (35 & 36 Vict. c. 98).[15]

Tomlins gives the title of this act as "For Punishment of Vagabonds".[16] Ruffhead and Pickering give the title as "Justices, &c. shall examine Vagabonds, and bind them to their good abearing, or commit them to Prison",[17][18] The Statute Law Revision (Ireland) Act 1872 describes this act as "Justices shall examine Vagabonds"[19] and The Law Reports: Public General Statutes says this is the subject matter.[20] The Chronological Table gives this act the title "Vagabonds".[21]

The act includes references to faitors (feitors),[22] drawlatches[23] and roberdesmen.[24]
