An apparently unrecorded edition of the public general act renewing the terms of the previous Mutiny Act, as well as the articles relating to the quartering of British Army troops in foreign territories, notably the raising of troops in America:

'The officers and Soldiers of any Troops which are or shall be raised in America, being mustered and in Pay, shall, at all Times, and in all Places, when joined, or acting in Conjuction with Our British Forces, be governed by these Rules or Articles of War, and shall be subject to be tried by Courts-martial in like Manner with the Officers and Soldiers of Our British Troops'.
