English term or phrase: to forfeit 3s. 4d
The original sentence:

The Sunday Observance Act, 1677, forbids meetings or assemblies of people out of their own parishes on the Lord’s day for any sports and pastimes whatsoever. Every offender is to forfeit 3s. 4d.

Actually, the meaning of the "3s. 4d" is more important than its Persian translation.
