It is considered proper to be incorporated with our laws, except the parts relating to forests and
to persons excommunicated.

    This statute refers to that of Marlbridge, 52 Hen. 3, Ch. 4.  See the note under that statute.

    It is laid down in 2 Inst. 193, that this statute applies to cases where the distress is chased into any
other house, park or other place strength.  See also 3 Bl. Com. 148, and 4 Bac. Abt. title Replevin
E; from which it appears proper that this statute should be incorporated, &c.

    See the note on 9 Hen. 3, Ch. 7.
 

    See 1 Bl. Com. 348, as to the office and power of a coroner, as ascertained by this statute.
    It appears by the council proceedings that a commission was granted to J. B. in January 1637, as
sheriff and coroner, and soon aftar a commission to J. R. as coroner, with power to take the fees authorised
by law or usage of England, and several inquisitions appear to have been taken by coroners
and sheriffs.
    The acts of assembly passed on this subject in 1666 and 1692, were merely for the appointment of
coroners, and those passed afterwards in the province and in the state, relate to their ministerial
functions in executing process, so that their duty otherwise is the same as in England, and the general
provisions of this statute, (excepting those that relate to deodands, wrecks, &c.) are proper to
be incorporated with our laws.
    This statute is mentioned in the letter from S. Chase, which has been referred to.
 

    See 5 Bac. Abt. title Warranty. C; 2 Bl. Com. 300; and Co. Lit. 384, from which this statute
will appear proper to be incorporated, &c.
 

    This is known to be the statute under which costs have been, and still are recovered by plaintiffs,
and the present forms of entering judgments are the same as those mentioned by Blackstone, (3d
vol. 399,) in speaking of this statute.
