Vagabonds Act 1549
The Vagabonds Act 1549 (3 & 4 Edw. 6. c. 16) was an act of the Parliament of England.
Section 1 of the act repealed the Vagabonds Act 1547 (1 Edw. 6. c. 3) and revived and made perpetual the Vagabonds Act 1530 (22 Hen. 8. c. 12).
According to historian Mark Rathbone, "there is no evidence that the Act was enforced."
The act proved to be impractical to implement. The Tudor Vagabond Acts had an emphasis on punishments for the impotent poor. The English Poor Laws, that followed, built on the Tudor acts to provide a comprehensive system for poor relief, that was paid for by a system of compulsory taxation.
The whole act was repealed by section 11 of the Continuance, etc. of Laws Act 1623 (21 Jas. 1. c. 28).
