Description
An Act for Preventing Tumults and Riotous Assemblies, and for the more speedy and effectual Punishment of Rioters. London: John Baskett, 1715. Folio, disbound. [2], 243-248 pp. *************** The "Riot Act" remained in force for 250 years, and was used to disband unruly (or unwanted) gatherings of 12 or more people. Before the Riot Act was to be applied in any particular circumstance, it was required that an announcement be read to warn rioters that the Act was about to be enforced. This gave rise to the saying, "to read the Riot Act," which is to give a serious warning. Scarce in trade.
