The marginal note to that section said that the effect of this was to repeal sections 5 and 6 and 12 and 19 to 22. Legislation.gov.uk has this as sections 18 to 21 instead of 19 to 22. Section 22 was repealed by Part VII of the Schedule to the Statute Law (Repeals) Act 1969 (c 52). However section 11 of the Wills Act 1837 continues the right of Soldiers and Seamen to dispose of their personal estate as they had previously.
