A quick definition of Central Criminal Court Act:

The Central Criminal Court Act, also known as Palmer's Act, is a law in England that was passed in 1856. It allows a person who is accused of a crime that is not under the jurisdiction of the Central Criminal Court to request that their case be tried in that court. This law gives people the right to have their case heard in a specific court, even if it is not the usual court for that type of crime.

A more thorough explanation:

The Central Criminal Court Act, also known as Palmer's Act, is a law in England that was enacted in 1856. It allows a person who is accused of a crime that falls outside the jurisdiction of the Central Criminal Court to have their case tried in that court.

For example, if someone is accused of a crime in a different part of England, but they want their case to be heard in the Central Criminal Court, they can use Palmer's Act to request that their case be moved to that court.

This law was created to ensure that serious criminal cases could be heard in a central location, where there would be experienced judges and juries who could make fair and informed decisions. It has been used in many high-profile cases over the years, including the trial of the notorious serial killer, Jack the Ripper.
