Lotteries Act 1710

The Lotteries Act 1710 was an act of the Parliament of Great Britain. As enacted, it specified duties on exports of certain commodities, coal, and candles and regulated the state lottery. Section 57, the last to be repealed, reinforced the Suppression of Lotteries Act 1698 and specified a £100 fine for offenders, to be distributed one third each to the Crown, the parish poor, and the informant.

Subsequent developments
The whole act, except section 57, was repealed by section 1 of, and the schedule to, the Statute Law Revision Act 1867 (30 & 31 Vict. c. 59), which came into force on 15 July 1867. The portions of the long title describing the provisions repealed in 1867 were deleted by the Statute Law Revision Act 1887 (50 & 51 Vict. c. 59) . The whole act was repealed for Great Britain by section 32 of, and the second schedule to, the Betting and Lotteries Act 1934 (24 & 25 Geo. 5. c. 58),, for Northern Ireland by section 35 of, and part II of the schedule to, the Betting and Lotteries Act (Northern Ireland) 1957 (1957 c. 19 (N.I.)), and for the Republic of Ireland by section 3 of, and part I of the schedule to, the Gaming and Lotteries Act 1956. == Notes ==
