—The chancellor and judges directed to examine
the dockets, &c. and specify the terms for recording,
&c.
—On failure by the officer, suit to be brought on

    It shall be the duty of clerks and registers to make
up and complete their records of all judgments, decrees,
&c. (in the kinds of action therein specified required

—The chancellor and judges, (or one or more,) at
every term to inspect the judgments, &c. and see whether

—Penalty on the clerks or registers neglecting or

—Such conviction to be taken as evidence of misbehaviour
in office, for which they may be removed,
    Not necessary for the clerks or registers to make up
records of judgments, &c. not relating to lands, &c.
unless required in writing, but if an exemplification is
required, they may certify the same, the minutes, &c.

    Instead of those records, the clerks or registers directed
to enter the minutes and docket entries of every

term,
    The chancellor and judges to require the production

the manner required by this act,
    Directions for recording indentures relative to the
apprenticeship of German and Swiss redemptioners,
    Hereafter no deed of conveyance shall be good and

of the county where the lands, &c. do lie, within
the time required by law,

    His acts as a justice of the peace for Kent county

or servitude of German or Swiss emigrants,
