upper and lower houses of the then general assembly, that no
manors, lordships, lands, tenements and hereditaments whatso-
ever within this province, should alter, pass or change from one
to another, (as by the said act relation being thereunto had
more at large doth appear,) except the same were acknowledged
and enrolled as in the said law is directed: Be it therefore
hereby declared and enacted, by the authority, advice and consent
aforesaid, That whatsoever deed or deeds, conveyance or con-
veyances during the continuance of the said law, were enrolled
by virtue of the said law within the time therein limited, are
and shall be taken and adjudged to be effectual in law, accord-

conveyance or conveyances, enrolled; and if any deed or
deeds, conveyance or conveyances, made during the conti-
nuance of that act, were sealed and delivered, but not enrolled
according to the intent of the said law, It is hereby enacted and
declared. That nothing has passed by such deed or deeds, con-
veyance or conveyances, not enrolled as aforesaid, the repeal of

blessed memory, an act for enrolment of conveyances, and
securing the estates of purchasers, was then made, whereby it
was enacted, that no manors, lands, tenements or hereditaments
whatsoever, within this province, shall pass, alter or change
from one to another, whereby the estate of inheritance or free-
hold, &c. shall take effect, &c. as by the said law (relation
being thereunto had) more at large doth appear, except the deed
