- The Administration of Justice Act, or Act for the Impartial Administration of Justice, also popularly called the Monkey Act or Murder Act, was an Act of the Parliament of Great Britain. It became a law on 20 May 1774. It was one of the measures (commonly referred to as the Intolerable Acts, the Punitive Acts, or the Coercive Acts by many colonists) that was designed to secure Britain's jurisdiction over the American dominions. As such, it is a part of the Grievances of the United States Declaration of Independence. These Coercive Acts included the Boston Port Act, the Massachusetts Government Act, and the Quebec Act. The Act allowed the royally appointed governor to remove any acquisition placed on a royal official by a patriot, if the governor did not believe the official would have a fair trial. The Act was referred to as the "Murder Act" because the patriots believed that the official could get away with capital offences. To assure trials were 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. (en)
- L'Acte d'administration de la justice (Administration of Justice Act en anglais), ou Acte pour l'administration impartiale de la justice (Act for the Impartial Administration of Justice en anglais), surnommé Acte assassin (Murdering Act ou Murder Act en anglais), fut voté par le Parlement du Royaume-Uni et devint une loi le 20 mai 1774. Cet acte est l'un des Actes intolérables, dont le but est d'assurer la juridiction britannique sur les treize colonies d'Amérique du Nord. Cet acte abolissait l'administration locale de la justice, autorisant le gouverneur de la colonie de la Baie du Massachusetts, à ordonner que toute enquête, inculpation ou appel soit jugé en Grande-Bretagne ou dans toute autre colonie britannique; pouvant contraindre tout témoin d'apparaître à un tel procès et exigeant une caution pour toute personne accusée d'un "crime capital dans l'exécution de ses devoirs." Ce qui signifie que les procès auraient lieu en Grande-Bretagne, par un juge britannique, assurant une issue du procès en faveur des Britanniques. (fr)
