CVI. And whereas,
for Want of an Enlargement of the Jurisdiction of
the several Deputy-Commissaries within this Province, and their being enabled
to pass Accounts, where the Amount of the Estate exceeds the Sum of
Fifty Pounds Current Money, many of the Inhabitants are put to great Inconveniencies
and Expence, either by being obliged to repair to the Commissary-General
for the passing of such Accounts, where the Estate as aforesaid
exceeds the Sum of Fifty Pounds Current Money, or for obtaining special
Commissions from the Commissary-General, directed to the several Deputy-Commissaries,
enabling them so to do: For Prevention of which Evil, Be
it Enacted, That the Deputy-Commissaries within this Province, in
their
respective Counties, shall be, and by virtue of this Act they are hereby
authorized and impowered, to pass any Accounts of the Estates of deceased
Persons, without any special Commission from the Commissary-General, where |
Deputy Commissaries
