Royal Assent by Commission Act 1541 : ウィキペディア英語版
Royal Assent by Commission Act 1541

The Royal Assent by Commission Act 1541 (33 Hen 8 c 21) was an Act of the Parliament of England, passed in 1542〔Acts of Parliament were dated according to the year in which the session of Parliament began, rather than the year in which the Act was passed.〕 to authorise the execution of Catherine Howard for adultery. It also created a new way in which the Royal Assent could be granted to legislation.
Queen Catherine was to be convicted by bill of attainder, rather than by ordinary prosecution in a court of law. However, until 1542 the Royal Assent could only be granted by the king in person, at a ceremony in which the whole text of the bill would be read aloud. King Henry decided that "the repetition of so grievous a Story and the recital of so infamous a Crime" in his presence "might reopen a Wound already closing in the Royal Bosom."〔Quennell, Peter (1951). "History Today", Stanford University. p767.〕 To avoid this, Parliament inserted a clause in the bill of attainder, which provided that the Royal Assent could be granted by commissioners appointed for the purpose, instead of by the king in person. Initially used sparingly, the new procedure gradually became used more often until it became the usual way. The last monarch to grant Royal Assent in person was Queen Victoria in 1854.〔Richardson, Jessica. "Modernisation of Royal Assent in Canada". ''Canadian Parliamentary Review''.〕
The Act was repealed by section 2(2) of the Royal Assent Act 1967,〔1967 c.23〕 which however preserved the Commissioners' role.
This Act was repealed for the Republic of Ireland by sections (2(1) ) and (3(1) ) of, and (Part 2 ) of Schedule 2 to the Statute Law Revision Act 2007.
==Other provisions==
The 1541 Act was more than an act of attainder, however. It also made it high treason for any person who married the King (or his successors) and concealed from the monarch their previous sexual history. It became treason for any third party to conceal such knowledge for longer than 20 days after the marriage, or to incite another to have "carnal knowledge" of the queen consort, or of the wife of the monarch's son, or for the queen or princess to incite somebody to do so. These provisions were repealed by the Treason Act 1547.〔1 Edw.6 c.12, s.2〕
