[30] The Pennsylvanians did not allow their laws to reach England until long after they were passed: Penn. Archives, I. 161–2; Col. Rec., II. 572–3. These acts were disallowed Feb. 20, 1713. Another duty act was passed in 1712, supplementary to the Act of 1710 (Col. Rec., II. 553). The contents are unknown.
