An Act Depriving the Jews of the Right to Naturalization – London, 1753
Anno regni Georgii II. Regis Magnæ Britanniæ, Franciæ, & Hiberniæ, vicesimo septimo… / An Act to repeal an Act… to permit persons professing the Jewish religion to be naturalized. London: Printed by Thomas Baskett, Printer to the King's most Excellent Majesty; and by the Assigns of Robert Baskett, 1753. English.
The act before us, from November 1753, repeals a bill that had been titled the "Jew Bill", which had been enacted several months earlier, in April 1753, and enabled the Jews of Britain to become citizens.
During the years 1740-1753, several bills were enacted which gradually enabled the Jews of Britain to become citizens, to hold positions and become owners of real estate, without being required to take a Christian oath. Until then, their legal status was that of "King's Subjects"; their living in Britain was temporary and they were not considered citizens. The enactment of the bills, which enabled the Jews' naturalization, caused riots in London and elsewhere and the government and the two houses of the parliament withdrew and repealed the act. The Christian oath as a condition for naturalization was eventually cancelled only in 1826.
