Reading edition
May 20, 1767, VII Statutes at Large, 122. There is an interesting act of September 29, 1781, X Statutes at Large, 366, by which a title was confirmed to an equitable grantee who had failed to get a legal title, owing to the error of a conveyancer, but the commonwealth had a direct interest in the case because the legal title had, by the error referred to, become vested in an attainted traitor whose lands had been forfeited.
