The Statute of 5 & 6 E. 6. cap. 15. touching
Ingrossing of Leather, is yet
in force; for the Statute of 1 Ma. cap. 8. which Repealed it, is
Repealed by
5 El. 8. Which Statute of 5 El. 8. is Repealed by 1
Jac. 22. But that Statute
doth also repeal all the Statutes Repealed 5 El. 8. But the
Justices of Peace
have no power to inquire of offences against 5 E. 6. 19. Also
the Statute of

Statutes
made concerning Tanners, Curriers, Shoomakers, and other Artificers
occupying the cutting of Leather; and to comprehend in one Statute, all
