ERRATA..

THE Act of 10, Geo. 4th, Cap, 23, page 48, is printed in full, by mistake, it being a temporary Act expired.

For the word "credit" in the 7th line from the top of page 263, read "audit."

MEM.

IN addition to the above, a few trifling errors may be found in the marginal Notes, which it is not thought necessary to notice, as they are not such as to mislead.

THE Acts as printed, having been carefully collated with the original Bills in Manuscript, obtained from the Provincial Secretary's Office for that purpose, it is hoped they will be found substantially correct.
