The Statute Law Revision Act 1873 (36 & 37 Vict. c. 91) is an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that repealed for the United Kingdom enactments from 1742 to 1830 which had ceased to be in force or had become necessary. 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 (37 & 38 Vict. c. 35) provided that the Criminal Costs (Dublin) Act 1815 (55 Geo. 3. c. 91), which had been repealed by the act, was revived, so far as it related to the county of the city of Dublin.
Section 3 of the Statute Law Revision Act 1875 (37 & 38 Vict. c. 35) (38 & 39 Vict. c. 66) provided that section 25 of the Licensing (Scotland) Act 1828 (9 Geo. 4. c 58), which had been repealed by the act, was revived, as from the repeal thereof, and that all proceedings taken thereunder since that repeal were as valid and effectual as if that section had not been repealed.

- Licensing (Scotland) Act 1828 (9 Geo. 4. c. 58)
