made thereon Viz.

This Bill being read we find the last enacting Clause will
erect such an Arbitrary Judicature as is entirely unknown to
our Laws, and which may hereafter be the Source of innumer-

the Courts and the Lawyers, to the great Delay of Business ;
without that Clause the Bill will pass
