The Certain Mutinous Crews Act 1797 (37 Geo. 3. c. 71) was an act of the Parliament of Great Britain. The act was passed in the aftermath of the Spithead and Nore mutinies and declared that those mutineers who refused to surrender were rebels and aimed to restrict intercourse with the mutinous ships upon pain of death.
Subsequent developments The whole act was repealed by section 1 of, and the schedule to, the Statute Law Revision Act 1871 (34 & 35 Vict. c. 116), which came into force on 21 August 1871.
