Resolved unanimously, That the following be entered on the
Journal as the Resolves of this House:
Resolved by the House, That the Members who were appointed
as Members of the Committee of Aggrievances, have likewise the
Character of a Committee for Courts of Justice; and that That
Character, and the Duty of such Committee be annexed to the said
Committee of Aggrievances, as a standing Part of their Duty. And
that it be an Instruction to the said Committee of Courts of Justice,
that they observe the Nature of all the Commissions to the several
Courts of Judicature within this Province; and that they especially
observe any Alterations that may at any Time happen by accidental
Omission, or otherwise, therein; and particularly relating to such
Words therein, as require the several Judges and Justices to hear,
try, and determine, according to the Laws, Statutes, Ordinances, and
reasonable Customs of England, and of this Province, or to such
other Words as have Relation thereto; and that they shall imme-
diately make Report to the House, of any Alteration that shall at
any Time happen in such Commission; and likewise to have Regard,
as near as may be, to observe wherein they differ from the Forms
of the several Sorts of Commissions to the Judges and Justices in
England.
