The Malicious Damage Act 1861 (24 & 25 Vict c 97) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland (as it then was). It consolidated provisions related to malicious damage from a number of earlier statutes into a single Act. For the most part these provisions were, according to the draftsman of the Act,〔Greaves. The Criminal Law Consolidation and Amendment Acts (1861) pp. 3-4〕 incorporated with little or no variation in their phraseology. It is one of a group of Acts sometimes referred to as the criminal law consolidation Acts 1861. It was passed with the object of simplifying the law. It is essentially a revised version of an earlier consolidation Act, the Malicious Injuries to Property Act 1827 (7 & 8 Geo 4 c 30) (and the equivalent Irish Act), incorporating subsequent statutes.〔Davis, James Edward. The Criminal Law Consolidation Statutes of the 24 & 25 of Victoria, Chapters 94 to 100. Butterworths. 1861. Pages vi and vii. (Google Books ).〕 The Act applied in the Republic of Ireland until 1991〔, cols. 1618–1677; (Criminal Damage Act, 1991 ) (No. 31/1991) (Ireland).〕 and still applies in some Commonwealth countries which were parts of the British Empire in 1861, such as Sierra Leone.〔''(Prosecutor v.
