                        Enrollments.

    I.  An. 11 W. 3. 1699. p. 93.  No Mannors, Lands,
Tenements or Hereditaments within this Province shall
pass from one to another, whereby an Estate of above 7
years shall be made, except the Deed or Conveyance of
the same be made by writing Indented and Sealed, and
the same acknowledged in the Provincial Court, or before
2 Justices thereof, or in the County Court, where
such Lands lye, or before 2 Justices of the same, and Enrolled
in such Court within 12 months after the date,
for which Caption the Fee shall be 1 s. and no more.
    II.  Where the Grantor or Bargainor lives remote from
any the said Courts, he may acknowledge the same in
the County where he liveth, and a Certificate thereof under
the Hand of the County Clerk and Seal of the said
County, shall be a sufficient Warrant to the Clerk of the
Provincial, or County Court where the Land lyeth, to
Enroll the same.
    III.  If any such Grantor or Bargainor shall be out of
this Province, and within any of his Majesty's Dominions,
so as the same cannot be acknowledged and Enrolled,
as before directed, within the time limited, such
Lands shall be acknowledged by Letter of Attorney in
the Courts aforesaid, or before 2 Justices of the same, as
aforesaid.
    IV.  Every Writing so enrolled shall pass the Estates
therein contained, from the Day of Enrollment, and
not from the Date thereof.  And shall be at all times
construed most favourably for the Grantees, and most
strongly for the Barring the Grantors, and according to
the True intent of the Parties, altho the same be not so
firmly drawn as is used in England, where the advice
of Council may be had.
    V.  If any Feme Covert be named a Party, she shall
not be barr'd, unless examined privately out of the
hearing of her Husband, whether she makes her acknowledgment
