These acts included the Boston Port Bill, the Massachusetts Government Act, and the Quartering Act. To assure trials more conducive to the Crown than the prejudices of local juries, the act granted a change of venue to another British colony or Great Britain in trials of officials charged with a crime growing out of their enforcement of the law or suppression of riots. Witnesses for both sides were also required to attend the trial and were to be compensated for their expenses. The Act was repealed by the Statute Law Revision Act 1871.
