The Vagrancy (England) Act 1822 (3 Geo. 4. c. 40) was an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that consolidated enactments related to idle and disorderly persons, rogues and vagabonds, and other vagrants in England.
Provisions Repealed enactments Section 1 of the act repealed all provisions of the law then in force in England relating to idle and disorderly persons, rogues and vagabonds, incorrigible rogues, or other vagrants, without enumerating the enactments repealed. The repeal did not extend to any law then in force for the removal of poor persons born in Scotland, Ireland, or the Isles of Man, Jersey, and Guernsey and becoming chargeable to parishes in England, nor to any law then in force relating to lunatic vagrants.
Subsequent developments The whole act was repealed, subject to a saving for offences already committed, by section 1 of the Vagrancy Act 1824 (5 Geo. 4. c. 83), which came into force on 21 June 1824.
