Note [672 — Chapter VII
Reading edition
[672] An Indian boy was said to have been imported into the colony in 1708 contrary to the law. The matter was brought before the council, September 14, 1709, but was referred for lack of evidence. Pennsylvania Colonial Records, ii, p. 490. It was perhaps due to this event that the council, February 21, 1710, decided that a case of infringement of the act of 1706 should be tried before the Court of Common Pleas. Ibid., ii, pp. 508–509.
