If it was passed, it should be the Jew Act. --Henrygb 22:50, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)

While that's the usual usage, for whatever reason the phrase Jew Bill of 1753 has become the standard moniker for the thing, while Jew Act of 1753 is exceedingly rare. --Delirium 20:42, 20 January 2007 (UTC)Reply
Repeal of the Act in 1754 is completely missing!

Removal of section on German Jews

[edit]

This paragraph is not only completely unsourced, but it appears to describe a period some time after the passing and repeal of the law in question, so its relevance is unclear, to say the least.

While the Sephardim chiefly congregated in London as the centre of international commerce, Jews immigrating from Germany and Poland settled for the most part in the seaports of the south and west, such as Falmouth, Plymouth, Liverpool, Bristol, etc., as pawnbrokers and small dealers. From these centres it became their custom to send out hawkers every Monday with packs to the neighbouring villages, whereby connections were made with some of the inland towns, where they began to settle, such as Canterbury, Chatham, Cambridge, Manchester, and Birmingham. Traders of this type, while not of such prominence as the larger merchants of the capital, came in closer contact with ordinary English people and may have helped to allay some of the prejudice which had been manifested so strongly in 1753.
