Vagabonds Act 1547
The Vagabonds Act 1547 (1 Edw. VI c. 3)was a statute passed in England by King Edward VI. It provided that vagabonds could be enslaved for two years and continued weekly parish collections for the poor.〔Paul Slack, The English Poor Law 1531-1782 59--60 (1990)〕 The enslaved vagabonds were to be fed bread and water or small drink and were allowed to be worked by beating, chaining, or other methods the master may choose.〔C.S.L Davies, Slavery and Protector Somerset: The Vagrancy Act of 1547 534 (1966)〕 Vagabond slaves were allowed to be bought and sold just as other slaves.〔C.S.L Davies, Slavery and Protector Somerset: The Vagrancy Act of 1547 534 (1966)〕 Also, should no private man want the vagabond slave, the slave was to be sent to their town of birth and be forced to work as a slave for that community.〔C.S.L Davies, Slavery and Protector Somerset: The Vagrancy Act of 1547 534 (1966)〕 Vagabond children could be claimed as "apprentices" and be held as such until the age of 24 if a boy, or the age of 20 if a girl.〔C.S.L Davies, Slavery and Protector Somerset: The 1547 Vagrancy Act 536 (1966)〕 Should they attempt to escape this apprenticeship, they were subject to enslavement for the remainder of the apprenticeship.〔C.S.L. Davies, Slavery and Protector Somerset: The Vagrancy Act of 1547 536 (1966)〕
It was repealed in 1550 by an act which reinstated the 1531 Vagabonds Act.〔3 & 4 Edw. VI c. 16〕
