The Jecgei of their Supreme Court have mv : e a

The Goverao s, Duumere, Tryon and Calden have

They did pass twelve e&s es outlawry, on the ninth

live Judges of their Supreme Court to award extensi

that the, should judge to be effm de/z, withent trial.
They have and ftiil continue an wjuft claim to thufa
