NOTES.
CHAP. 4. See 4 Bl. Com. 195.
CHAP. 7. Under this statute sheriffs were to
remain in office one year. There were several
other statutes on this subject, but they do not appear
to have extended to the province.
CHAP. 8. There is reason to believe that none
of the statutes on this subject, were literally extended
to the province, although proceedings may
have been had, drawn from them, and the directions
of the proprietor in his land office. See
land holders assistant, Ch. 9, page 173.
CHAP. 13. Obsolete in England. See 12 Car.
2, Ch. 24. |
