CHAP. 8.  Rectories.
    CHAP. 9.  An act for taking away the writ de
heretico comburendo.

    CHAP. 9.  This statute cannot in strictness be
said to have extended to the province, as the writ
mentioned in the title was never used therein;
but it was one that the courts might have adopted
together with 1 Eliz. Ch. 1, if they had been found
necessary.  See the note on 9 Geo. 2, Ch. 5.
And when we consider the violent animosities 
which prevailed between the different religious
sects in the province, it is presumed that the
court that would hang a witch, would not scruple
to burn a heretic.  Under our present government
we have fortunately neither heresy nor
schism in the eye of the law, and therefore there
could be no occasion for this statute if it had been
used in the province.

    CHAP. 2.  Northumberland.

    CHAP. 3.  An act for burying in woollen.
    CHAP. 8.  Coals.
    CHAP. 9.  Fish.

    CHAP. 1.  Soldiers.

    CHAP. 1.  The 54th section provided that soldiers
should not be quartered on any person
against their consent; but I have not understood
that it was extended to the province.
