And whereas Doubts have arisen whether the Powers given to the said Commissioners of Police by an [6 & 7 Vict. c. 86.] Act passed in the Seventh Year of the Reign of Her Majesty Queen Victoria, intituled An Act for regulating Hackney and Stage Carriages in and near London, to appoint, alter, and regulate Standings for Hackney Carriages, supersede the Powers and Provisions relating to the same Matters or Subject contained in local and other Acts applicable to certain Parishes and Places within the Metropolitan Police District: Be it therefore enacted, That so much of the several Acts in force before the passing of the said Act of the Seventh Year of the Reign of Her Majesty as relates to the appointing, continuing, altering, directing, or regulating Standings for Hackney Carriages or Chairs within any Part of the Metropolitan Police District shall be and the same is hereby repealed, save and except so far as the Provisions of the said Acts may repeal the whole or any Part of any other Acts in relation to the Matters aforesaid, and except as to Offences and other Matters committed or done before the Commencement of this Act, which shall be dealt with and punished as if this Act had not been passed.
