PART III

SPECIFIC BRITISH STATUTES: THEIR TREATMENT BY COURTS, LEGISLATURES, AND LIST-MAKERS INTRODUCTORY NOTE

This Table is designed to list references to British statutes appearing between 1776 and 1836 in the following sources: 1. Statutes of the several states and territories of the United States 2. Reported decisions by the courts of the several states and territories of the United States 3. Lists authorized by state legislatures purporting to set out all British statutes considered in force and/ or not in force in the particular jurisdiction To facilitate reference by subject, the English statutes them­ selves have been arranged under key words taken from the index to the Statutes of the Realm. Thus under a key word-e.g., Dower-will appear all the English statutes mentioned in the reports or statutes or lists. Each particular British statute is identified by its full title, the regnal year citation, and references to both the Statutes at Large and the Statutes of the Realm (hereinafter cited as S.L. and S.R., respectively). Under each such statute, in alphabetical order, are listed the several jurisdictions of the United States which have been concerned with this particular statute. Under each jurisdiction are references to the reports or statutes or lists which mention the particular English statute. To avoid cross-referencing, a single English statute which dealt with more than one topic has been placed under as many key words as seemed desirable. For the sake of convenience, the following abbreviations have been used in referring to the authorized lists:

(1817) Schley Georgia Schley, A Digest of the English Statutes ... (1826)

In preparing the Table, no reliance was placed on indices to the volumes of statutes or printed reports. Instead, the pages of all reports and statutes were scanned individually to locate each refer­ ence to an English statute. Cards were prepared showing each entry. The validity of each reference was checked for context against the particular British statute and the case or statute referring to it. The cards were then filed under the key words taken from the index to the Statutes of the Realm. The student research assistants who contributed to the com­ pletion of this study included John Baumgartner, Law '60, Clarhold Britton, Law '61, S. Stuart Eilers, Law '63, William McCarter, Law '63, Richard Snyder, Wade C. Stevens, Law '63, James J. White, Law '62, and Richard Wood, Law '62. Particular mention must be made of three of these individuals: John Baumgartner, who was the first to work on the project and who laid down the pattern for locat­ ing and identifying the individual references, Joseph Schneider, who was responsible for the organization of the Table and the selection of the key words drawn from the index to the Statutes of the Realm, and Wade Stevens, who rechecked each individual reference and double checked all entries. Louise S. Brown and Ross N. Pearson, Jr., did the final proof-reading. Mary H. Dobson, Jean V. Hughes, and Roma Schneider typed the manuscript. Grateful acknowledgment is due to each for his individual contribution. ABJURATION 203
