    An Act to continue an Act from 1821 “An Act for the maintenance of good order in Churches, Chapels and other places used for Public Worship, and for repealing an Act therein mentioned,” that repealed and replaced an Act passed in 1817, "An Act to provide for the maintenance of good order on Sundays and Holidays." The 1821 Act redefined the responsibilities of Churchwardens, Militiamen, and Peace Officers and the penalties for those who neglect these duties or the Act's terms.
