The Millbank Prison Act 1843 (6 & 7 Vict. c. 26) was an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that repealed the earlier acts establishing and regulating the Penitentiary House at Millbank, renamed it the Millbank Prison, and made new provision for its management, discipline and staffing.
Provisions Repealed enactments Section 1 of the act repealed 12 enactments, listed in that section, and so much of any other act then in force as related to the Penitentiary House at Millbank. The repeal did not extend to any of the repealed acts so far as they repealed the whole or part of any other act, and did not affect any offence committed, any privilege or protection acquired, any rule or thing done, any contract or agreement made, or the term of confinement of any convict already received into the Penitentiary House, before the passing of the act, under any of the repealed acts.
