See the note on 18 Edw. 1, St. 4. See 2 Bl. Com. 351, as to reading the note of the fine which it is
probable was not strictly adhered to in the provincial court.  As to the other part of this statute, see
3 Coke, 88.
 

    For the reasons of making this statute, See 2d Inst. 537.  The first chapter contained a confirmation
of the great charter and the charter of the forest.  Supposing that, with the others (amounting to 20)
to have been in force in the province, it would not be necessary that they should be continued, and
therefore the titles are omitted.
    Ch. 8 and Ch. 13 related to the election of the sheriffs by the people.  See the note on 9 Edw. 2,
St. 2.
    On a conference on the part of the two houses in 1723, respecting assize courts, the conferees stated
that it was agreeable to the manner of proceeding in England, and exactly agreeable to the 9th
chapter of articuli super chartas, wherein it was expressly provided that every sheriff and bailiff
should put on inquests such ase should be next neighbors, most sufficient, and least suspicious.
 

    In addition to what has been remarked, as to parts of the great charter, 9 Hen. 3d, I find that in the
year 1771, in the house of delegates on considering the report of the committee of grievances and
courts of justice on the proclamation that had been issued by the governor concerning officers fees,
the reading of several papers, laws and proceedings was called for, among which was this statute:
The statute of W. and M. Ch. 2.  The 8th section of the charter to lord Baltimore, and an act against
raising money within the province without consent of the assembly, passed in 1650.
