Preamble.

 

 
WHEREAS in and by an Act made and passed in the Ninth and Tenth years of the reign of his present Majesty, intituled "An Act to amend the Statute Law relative to offences against the person, and to provide for the more effectual punishment of such offences," the benefit of Clergy is not taken away by express words for the crimes there made capital;   and whereas, doubts are entertained whther persons convicted of the said crimes would not for the first offence be entitled to the benefit of Clergy;   for remedy whereof,

The benefit of Clergy taken away in offences made capital by 9 & 10 G. 4, C. 21.

 
Be it therefor enacted by the President, Council, and Assembly, That in all cases where any crime or offence is made capital by the provisions of the before recited Act, and it is enacted that every person convicted of the same "shall suffer death as a felon," that then and in all such cases every such person so convicted shall suffer death as a felon without the benefit of Clergy, and the benefit thereof shall be abolished.
