For the Abolition of certain Holidays.
5 & 6 Edw. G. c.3.
|
XLIII. ‘And whereas the Observance of Holidays in the said Courts of Common Law during Term Time, and in the Offices belonging to the same, on the several Days on which Holidays are now kept, is very inconvenient, and tends to Delay in the Administration of Justice;’ be it therefore enacted by the Authority aforesaid, That none of the several Days mentioned in the Statute passed in the Sessions of Parliament holden in the Fifth and Sixth Years of the Reign of King Edward the Sixth, intituled An Act for keeping Holidays and Fasting Days, shall be observed or kept in the said Courts, or in the several Offices belonging thereto, except Sundays, the Day of the Nativity of our Lord and the Three following Days, and Monday and Tuesday in Easter Week.
