NOTES.
CHAP. 6. The first part of this statute was not
in force in the province--as to the last part, it appears
that notwithstanding the extention of the
statute of Gloucester, the provisions in this statute,
and in those of James 1 and Charles 2, as to
costs, have not been generally adopted. I have
been informed of a case of an assault in the former
provincial court, in which the statute 22 and
23 Car. 2, Ch. 9, was adjudged to be in force, but
the usual practice has been different, and I believe
the adjudications in the county courts have been
different.
I find, also, that in the act of 1669, Ch. 2, for
limitation of certain actions, &c. there was a provision,
that if an action on the case for slanderous
words, damages under 40s were given; no
more costs should be given--but this act expired
after three years.
CHAP. 12. See 2 Bl. Com. 75, as to the
court erected in pursuance of this statute, in
which it is stated that no commission as therein
directed, had of late years issued, besides which,
it will be seen that the provisions of this statute
could not have been extended to the province.
