Text of statute as originally enacted
The Treason Act 1553 (1 Mar. Sess. 1. c. 1) was an Act of the Parliament of England. (It should not be confused with another Act about treason passed in the same year, 1 Mar. Sess. 2 c. 6.)
The Act abolished all forms of treason that had been created since 1351, except the Treason Act 1351 itself.[3] It also abolished all felonies created since the beginning of the reign of Henry VIII.
