The Stage Carriages Act 1832 (2 & 3 Will. 4. c. 120) was an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that consolidated the law relating to the duties and licensing of stage carriages, and of horses let for hire, in Great Britain.
Provisions Repealed enactments Sections 1 and 2 of the act repealed ten enactments, listed in those sections. The repeal did not affect the prior repeal, by any of the repealed enactments, of a former act, or the recovery of any duty, arrears of duty, debt, penalty or forfeiture which had already accrued or been incurred before the appointed dates of repeal, which continued to be recoverable as if the act had not been passed.

Subsequent developments The whole act, except in so far as it applies to the Blackpool tramway system, was repealed by section 1(1) of, and part X of schedule 1 to, the Statute Law (Repeals) Act 1981, which came into force on 21 May 1981. The repeal was made on the recommendation of the Law Commission and the Scottish Law Commission, who had identified the act as no longer of practical utility save for its continuing application to the Blackpool tramway.
