statute, relating to piracy, are considered as having extended to the province; it being mentioned in
the commission under which the sessions of admiralty were held, as is stated in East's Pleas of the
Crown, Vol. 2, 795, and the commissioners having the power to try such crimes, within the plantations
in America, as has been shewn in the note on 11 and 12 W. 3, Ch. 7, but they are not proper
to be incorporated, &c.  See the note on 28 Henry 8, Ch. 15.

CHAP. 17.  An act for enlarging the time for taking the oath of abjuration; and also,
    for recapasitating and indemnifying such persons as have not taken the same 
    by the time limited, and shall take the same by a time to be appointed; and for
    the further security of her majesty's person, and the succession of the crown in
    the protestant line, and for extinguishing the hopes of the pretended prince of
    Wales, and all other pretenders and their open and secret abettors.

    See the note on 1 Anne, St. 1, Ch. 22.
 

    This statute was applicable to the province as far as it imposed duties on tobacco.
 

CHAP. 6.  An act for repealing a clause in an act, entitled, An act for the better
    apprehending, prosecuting and punishing felons, that commit burglaries, house
    breaking, or robberies, in shops, ware-houses, coach-houses or stables, or that
    steal horses.  (Part.)

    See the note on 10 and 11 W. 3, Ch. 23; but the last section of this statute was undoubtedly in
force in the province, being that whereby felons convict were to have the benefit of clergy without
being required to read.  See 4 Bl. Com. 363.
    The 1st section repealed a part of the statute 10 and 11 W. 3, Ch. 23, as to the manner of burning,
which had never been practised in the province, nor was the committing to the work-house, &c.
under the 2d and 3d section in practice.
 

    The 1st section, making it high treason to assert that the pretender had a right to the crown, must
have applied to the subjects in the province as well as in Great-Britain.
