Riot Act
The Riot Act〔This short title was conferred by the Short Titles Act 1896, section 1 and the first schedule.〕 (1714) (1 Geo.1 St.2 c.5) was an Act of the Parliament of Great Britain that authorised local authorities to declare any group of twelve or more people to be unlawfully assembled, and thus have to disperse or face punitive action. The act, whose long title was "An Act for preventing tumults and riotous assemblies, and for the more speedy and effectual punishing the rioters", came into force on 1 August 1715. It was repealed for England and Wales by section 10(2) of, and Part III of Schedule 3 to, the Criminal Law Act 1967.
==Introduction and purpose==
The Riot Act of 1714 was introduced during a time of civil disturbance in Great Britain, such as the Sacheverell riots of 1710, the Coronation riots of 1714 and the 1715 riots in England. The preamble makes reference to "many rebellious riots and tumults () have been (place of late ) in divers parts of this kingdom", adding that those involved "presum() so to do, for that the punishments provided by the laws now in being are not adequate to such heinous offences".
