The Statute Law Revision Act 1874 (37 & 38 Vict. c. 35) is an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that repealed for the United Kingdom statutes from 1801 to 1837. The Act was intended, in particular, to facilitate the preparation of the revised edition of the statutes, then in progress.
Section 2 of the Statute Law Revision Act 1874 (No. 2) (37 & 38 Vict. c. 96) provided that the Act was to be read and construed as if, in the entry in the Schedule to this act relating to the Piracy Act 1837 (7 Will. 4 & 1 Vict. c. 88), the words "Section Six" and "Section Seven" had been substituted for the words "Section Four" and "Section Five" respectively.
