The British Museum Act 1753 [1] (26 Geo. 2. c. 22) was an act of the Parliament of Great Britain. The act provided for the purchase of the Museum or Collection of Sir Hans Sloane and of the Harleian Collection of Manuscripts to be held in a new body, the British Museum.
The whole act was repealed by section 13(5) of, and Schedule 4 to, the British Museum Act 1963. Bylaws, ordinances, statutes or rules in force immediately before the commencement of the British Museum Act 1963 under section 14 or 15 of the British Museum Act 1753 are not invalidated by the repeal of the British Museum Act 1753, but have effect in relation to each museum, with such modifications as may be necessary in consequence of the provisions of the British Museum Act 1963, as if they were rules made by the Trustees of that Museum under paragraph 5 of the First Schedule to the British Museum Act 1963.

The Statute of Praemunire was an Act of the Parliament of England enacted in 1392, during the reign of Richard II. Its intention was to limit the powers of the papacy in England, by making it illegal to appeal an English court case to the pope if the king objected, or for anyone to act in a way that recognized papal authority over the authority of the king. In the 15th century it came to be read as including within its ban ecclesiastical courts inside England. The statute was later reaffirmed by the Statute in Restraint of Appeals in the reign of Henry VIII and was used to remove Thomas Wolsey from power. The word praemunire originally referred to the writ of summons issued against a person accused under this and similar statutes, and later came to mean offences against the statutes.
