Already made for the Return of Jurrors for that Altho the
Law Directs that the Sherriffs shall be fined one Thousand
pounds of Tob^o for their Defaults therein yet the Provinciall
Justices in the Instances Given found one half that sum a
Sufficient penalty & fined those Sherriffs no more tho It Ought
to have been by Law One Thousand pounds of Tob^o And

By the uper House of Assembly
June 2^d 1719
Gentl. On reading & Considering the Bill for the Applica-
tion of such Intestates Estates as leave no Legal Representa-
tives We find that the Paragraph therein which makes a Pro-
vision for Widows Excludes all Relations after Bro^rs and

U H.J.

Sisters Children from Inheriting any Part of the Intestates
Estate which we think unreasonable & Contrary To the Act
of Assembly Provided for the Better Adm^rcon of Justice in
Testamentary Affairs. It is therefore thought necessary that
that Paragraph in this Act should be made agreeable to that
Act which is Agreeable to the Laws of England with which
Amendments it will Pass
