NOTES.
CHAP. 1. It would seem from the preamble to
this statute, and the reference made in the margin
to the statute of Merton, Ch. 11, that the distresses
and revenges taken by the great men without authority,
were intended to be punished.
Unlawful distresses for rent have been provided
for by Ch. 4 of the same session, which is the one
referred to in treating on that subject. See 2d
Bac. Abt. title Distresses, E. and Espinasse, 400.
CHAP. 3. This chapter has some connection
with the provisions in Ch. 1.
CHAP. 6. Obsolete in England. See 12 Car.
2, Ch. 24.
CHAP. 7. Same.
CHAP. 8. See the note on 9 Henry 3, Ch. 12.
CHAP. 9. Although under the establishment of
courts baron and leet, the inhabitants might have
had occasion to claim the benefit of this statute, it
does not appear that nay such occasion arose in
the province, although suit of court is mentioned
in a grant from the proprietary in 1683. See
Landholder's Assistant, 221.
CHAP. 10. See the note on Ch. 9.
CHAP. 11. See the 2d Inst. 122. |
