The Riot Act 1411[a] (13 Hen. 4. c. 7) was an act of the Parliament of England.
The act was extended to Ireland by Poynings' Law 1495 (10 Hen. 7. c. 22 (I)).[1]
The words from "and the same justices" to "made to the contrary" were repealed by section 1 of, and the first schedule to, the Statute Law Revision Act 1948 (11 & 12 Geo. 6. c. 62), which came into force on 30 July 1948.[2]
The whole act, so far as unrepealed, was repealed by section 10(2) of, and part I of schedule 3 to, the Criminal Law Act 1967, which came into force on 1 January 1968.[3]
The statute 13 Hen. 4, of which this chapter was part, was repealed for the Republic of Ireland by section 1 of, and part 2[4] of the schedule to, the Statute Law Revision Act 1983.
