It empowered the Home Secretary in the United Kingdom to, on petition, make orders for the abolition of fairs. Such provision was made at this time by Parliament because many fairs traditionally held in early Victorian England were, according to the preamble to the act, held to be
- unnecessary,
- the cause of grievous immorality, and
- very injurious to the inhabitants of the towns in which such fairs are held
Fairs abolished under the act included Ickleton Fair in Cambridgeshire[2] and St Matthew's Fair in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk.Шаблон:Citation needed
