NOTES.
CHAP. 3. See the note on 9 Henry 3, Ch. 12.
CHAP. 4. Same.
CHAP. 5. This statute is stated in the editions
of the statutes at large, to have been repealed by
37 Henry 8, Ch. 9, which relates to usury, shifts,
corrupt bargains and chevizances; although, according
to Coke Littleton, 246 b. and 2, Inst. 88,
the protection given by this statute to infants, extended
to a nomine pænce, or a penalty incurred
for not paying a rent; and it is considered by
Hume, (history of England, Vol. 2, p. 105,) to
have ordained that money should bear no interest
during the minority of the debtor; but being held
to be repealed in England, it could not of course
have extended to the province.
CHAP. 6. This statute became obsolete on the
passage of 12 Car, Ch. 24, which took away
wardship, &c. by reason of tenure.
CHAP. 7. Same.
CHAP. 8. Altered in England.
CHAP. 10. This statute related to freemen
owing suit to county and other courts.
