NOTES.
CHAP. 16. It would seem that this statute was
not used and practised under in the province,
from the number of acts of assembly which have
passed on the subject. See the acts now in force
1715, Ch. 47, Sec. 8, (the expressions in which
are nearly similar to those used in this statute)
and the several supplementary acts. See also in
the Land Holders Assistant, (app. XXXV.) the act
of 1671, for quieting possessions, which recites that
in the beginning of this plantation, and till of late
years, there never was any settled course of conveying
lands, &c. and the act of 1694, which contained
in the 2d Section, provisions similar to
those in the act of 1715.
There was also an act to the same effect in
1692, Ch. 30, which is referred to in the act of
1715, and among the 36 acts read in 1638, there
was one for enroling of grants. |
