== Repeal Act 1782 ==

The text of the Repeal Act can be found here:

https://randomscottishhistory.com/2019/03/17/george-iii-21st-year-chapter-63-1782/

It's quite simply worded.

The reported text of the 'proclamation' of the repeal act featured on the main wiki page here looks very suspicious. It doesn't read like a Royal Proclamation, and it may be therefore that's its provenance is a much later, perhaps 19th century, fabrication.

It's quite simply worded.
