§ 1:1-15.

No offense committed, and no liability, penalty or forfeiture, either civil or criminal,

incurred, previous to the time of the repeal or alteration of any act or part of any

act, by the enactment of the Revised Statutes or by any act heretofore or hereafter

enacted, shall be discharged, released or affected by the repeal or alteration of

the statute under which such offense, liability, penalty or forfeiture was incurred,

unless it is expressly declared in the act by which such repeal or alteration is effectuated,

that an offense, liability, penalty or forfeiture already committed or incurred shall

be thereby discharged, released or affected; and indictments, prosecutions and actions

for such offenses, liabilities, penalties or forfeitures already committed or incurred

shall be commenced or continued and be proceeded with in all respects as if the act

or part of an act had not been repealed or altered, except that when the Revised Statutes,

or other act by which such repeal or alteration is effectuated, shall relate to mere

matters of practice or mode of procedure, the proceedings had thereafter on the indictment

or in the prosecution for such offenses, liabilities, penalties or forfeitures shall

be in such respects, as far as is practicable, in accordance with the provisions of

the Revised Statutes or such subsequent act.
