PARTIAL: the death penalty for high treason was replaced by life imprisonment by the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 s. 36, and treason felony is punishable with life or any shorter term — but neither penalty clause was retrieved from legislation.gov.uk in this pass; both figures need clause re-check. The source URL is the 1848 Act's enacted text on legislation.gov.uk.
