   and the repeal by this Act of any enactment shall
   not affect any enactment in which such enactment
   has been applied, incorporated, or referred to;
   nor shall such repeal of any enactment affect any
   right to any hereditary revenues of the Crown, or
   affect any charges thereupon, or prevent any such
   enactment from being put in force for the collection
   of any such revenues, or otherwise in relation thereto;
   and this Act shall not affect the validity, invalidity,
   effect, or consequences of anything already done or
   suffered, or any existing status or capacity, or any

   release or discharge of or from any debt, penalty,
   claim, or demand, or any indemnity, or the proof
   of any past act or thing;

   ance, or emolument, notwithstanding that the same
   respectively may have been in any manner affirmed,
   recognized, or derived by, in, or from any enactment
   hereby repealed;

   custom, right, title, privilege, restriction, exemption,
   usage, practice, procedure, or other matter or thing
   not now existing or in force;
