among other things, that if any person shall compass
or intend the death, wounding, imprisonment, or re-
straint of the person of his M» jest, or his successors, of

realm, or to levy war against his said Molesty
r his successors, to compel him or them t°
change his or their measures or counsels, or
in order to put any force or constraint iliwti
or to intimidate or overawe both Houses, or either
House of Parliament, or to stir any foreigner with force
to invade this realm, an) shall express such compass'
ings or intentions by publishing and printing or wilting'

_
&c., all the provisions of the said Act of 36 George
111., which relate to the successors of his said Majesty'
were made perpetual; and that whereas doubts are ",11'
tertaiued whether provisions so made perpetual were by
the last recited Act extended to Ireland, and whereas
is expedient to repeal all such provisions made perpetus;
by the last recited Act as do not relate to offence,
against the person of the Sovereign, and to enact other
provisions instead thereof, applicable to all parts of the
,

of his said Majesty, and the expressing, uttering, a'
declaring of such compassings, imaginations, or iovell.

force or constraint upon or to intimidate or overawe
both Houses or either House of Parliament, or to more
or stir any foreigner or stranger with force to invade
the United Kingdom, or any other of her Majest/r
dominions, and shall express such compassings, isto
ginings, inventions, or intentions, by publishing s
printing or writing, or by open and advised speakiee
or by any overt act or deed, shall be guilty of fell;
and on conviction shall be liable to be transporteci,,,
yond
,the seas for life, or for any term not less ts""

The 4th section enacts, that nothing herein containeatb
shall lessen the force of anything enacted by the 21,8
Edward 111., " a declaration which offences shall "-
adjudged treason."
The sth section enacts, that if the facts alleged in 6/38i
indictment for any felony under this Act shalt atentz-0
in law to treason, such indictment shall not by resi°l
thereof be deemed void, erroneous, or defective; an

any felony under this Act shall amount in law
treason, such person shall not by reason thereof be et/ci
titled to be acquitted of such felony; but no person aria
n
for the felony shall be afterwards prosecuted for tress°'
upon the same facts.
The 6th section enacts, that in the case of every fel°l3ll
under the Act, every principal in the second degrees s'o
every accessory before the tact, shall be punishable
