refimprove date September 2008 The Treason Act 1708 ref This short title was conferred by the Short Titles Act 1896 , section 1 and first schedule. ref 7 Ann. c. 21 is an Act of the Parliament of Great Britain which harmonised the law of high treason between the former kingdoms of England and Scotland following their Acts of Union 1707 union as Great Britain in 1707. It came into effect on 1 July 1709. Some of it is still in force today. Its long title is An Act for improving the Union of the Two Kingdoms. Offences Before the Act was passed, treason in Scotland consisted of theft in landed men, murder under trust, wilful fire raising, firing coalheughs, and assassination. Section 1 of the Act abolished these offences and replaced them with the English definition of high treason. The Act also applied the English offence of misprision of treason to Scotland. However it did not extend petty treason to Scotland. The Act also created new offences of treason. It became treason to counterfeit the Great Seal of Scotland , and to slay the Senator of the College of Justice Lords of Session or Senator of the College of Justice Lords of Justiciary sitting in Judgment in the Exercise of their Office within Scotland . These new offences were similar to existing treasons in England, as in England it was already treason to kill judges or to forge the English seal. For treason in English law in 1708 and today, see High treason in the United Kingdom . Since 1708 treason law in Scotland has generally remained the same as in England.

Multiple issues primary sources July 2011 refimprove July 2011 The Parochial Libraries Act 1708 7 Ann. c.14 , long title An Act for the better Preservation of Parochial Libraries in England , was an Act of Parliament of the Parliament of Great Britain . It governed parish parochial libraries established for ministers of the Church of England . The Act is still in force, and is one of the oldest pieces of legislation concerning libraries in the United Kingdom . The preamble to the Act noted that throughout the country, many parish clergy were provided with stipends so small that they were not able to purchase books for their studies, and as a result many small charitable libraries for this purpose had been recently established. In order to better protect these libraries from misuse or disposal, the Act stipulated that such establishments were to be maintained for the purpose for which they had been provided, and that the incumbent of the parish was to provide security, if so requested, by bond or otherwise , to ensure this. The appropriate ordinary of the Church, or the supervising archdeacon , was given authority to enquire into the condition of parochial libraries and appoint visitors to examine them, to ensure that they were maintained in a good condition.
