[14th July 1870]

W HEREAS by an Order in Council made on the eighteenth day of November one thousand eight hundred and sixty-seven, certain of the provisions of ‘The Common Law Procedure Act, 1854,’ were extended and applied to all the Courts of Record established under the provisions of ‘The County Courts Act, 1846,’ and also to the City of London Courts of Record as constituted by ‘The County Courts Act, 1867:’

And whereas much inconvenience has arisen by the attachment of wages to satisfy judgments recovered in some of such first-mentioned Courts, and it is expedient to prevent the attachment of wages to satisfy judgments recovered in any Court of Record or inferior Court:

Be it enacted 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:

S-1 No order of attachment of wages after passing of Act.

1 No order of attachment of wages after passing of Act.

1. That after the passing of this Act no order for the attachment of the wages of any servant, labourer, or workman shall be made by the judge of any Court of Record or inferior Court.

S-2 Short title.
