Text of statute as originally enacted
The Forgery Act 1830 (11 Geo. 4 & 1 Will. 4. c. 66) was an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It consolidated into one Act all legislation imposing the death penalty for forgery (except for counterfeiting coins). (It did not apply to Scotland or Ireland.[3]) Two years later the death penalty was abolished for most of these offences,[4] and for the remaining offences in 1837.[5]
This act was adopted in New South Wales by section 1 of the act 4 Will 4 No 4.[6]
The whole act, except for section 21, was repealed on 1 November 1861 by section 1 of, and the schedule to, the 24 & 25 Vict c 95.
The whole act, except section 21, was repealed as to New Zealand by section 3 of, and the First Part of the Schedule to, the Repeals Act 1878 (42 Vict No 28).[7]
The Forgery Act 1830 was repealed for the Republic of Ireland by sections 2 and 3 and Part 4 of Schedule 2 to the Statute Law Revision Act 2007.
As to trial of offences under this act at quarter sessions, see section 17 of the Central Criminal Court Act 1834 (4 & 5 Will 4 c 36).[8]
