THEREAS by an Act passed in the Session of the

"Treason, a List of the Witnesses that should be produced on
"the Trial for proving the same Indictment, and of the Jury,
"" mentioning the Names, Professions, and Place of Abode of the
"" said Witnesses and Jurors, should be also given at the same
""Time that the Copy of the Indictment should be delivered to
"the Party indicted, and that Copies of all Indictments for the
"Offences aforesaid should be delivered to the Party indicted
"Ten Days before the Trial, and in Presence of Two or
666 more credible Witnesses, any Law or Statute to the contrary
"notwithstanding:" And whereas the herein-before recited
• statutable Enactments do not extend to Ireland; and it is

by the Queen's most Excellent Majesty, by and with the Advice
and Consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons,
in this present Parliament assembled, and by the Authority of
the same, That after the First Day of August One thousand
eight hundred and fifty-four the Enactments in the said Act
passed in the Session of the Parliament of Great Britain held in
the Seventh Year of the Reign of Her late Majesty Queen
Anne contained and herein-before recited shall extend and apply
to Ireland, and that as fully and effectually as if the same Enact-
ments were here repeated.
