An Act published in Public General Acts 1744-1745 enacting an amnesty for those who have engaged in the activity of smuggling and laying out punishments for those who continue to partake in the crime transportation or death.

These statutes part of the 'Bloody Code' further extended the means by which a person could be convicted for smuggling and put to death without benefit of clergy although other lesser penalties most notably transportation remained the more common outcome.

An act of Parliament confirming the validity of 'Marriages amongst the People called Quakers and amongst Persons professing the Jewish Religion'. The statute was drafted in response to the notorious 1844 case of R vs. Millis in which the House of Lords held that all marriages conducted without the presence of a member of clergy in holy orders were invalid in English common law. The effect was to throw doubt on the legitimacy of the marriages of all Jews and Quakers.

At the Parliament begun at Westminster the thirtieth day of December. 1701' acts of Parliament for the last year of the reign of William III and the first year of Anne; unbound; 453-454pp. An act of Parliament 'To the end that sufficient maintenance be provided and allowed for the children of Jewish parents who shall turn Protestants' p.453. The law arose from the curious case of Mary de Mendez Berta an eighteen-year-old who was disowned and expelled from the family home following her conversion to Protestantism. A petition was brought before Parliament in an attempt to make Mary's father Jacob de Mendez Berta pay for his daughter's upkeep after which it was resolved that a bill be produced to address her case. The resultant act had some effect in the eighteenth century and was considered by the Lord Chancellor Thomas Parker in the 1718 case of Vincent vs. Fernandez. Here it was found that the law could apply equally to the adult child of a Jewish parent in this instance a 44-year-old married woman who had been cut-out of her father's will. The law remained in effect until 1846 when it was repealed by the Religious Disabilities Act.
