Appeals to England are allowed in the New Charter, but only in Personal, (not at all in Real or Mixed) Actions, where the matter of Difference, is of above Three Hundred Pound […] in Value: So that as to Titles of Land, there cannot be any Appeals to England: They have a Final Determination in Courts of Judicature among themselves.

The Laws Enacted by the General Court, are, tis true, to be transmitted unto the King for His Royal Approbation: But those Laws, when made, are in Force, as soon as they are made; and ⟨p. 143⟩until such Time as they are Disallowed by the King: And if within the space of Three Years the Kings Disapprobation be not Signified, the Laws are Perpetual until the General Court shall Repeal them. Now by the Old Charter, the Governor and Company might not make any Laws Repugnant unto the Laws of England; and the Laws which have Reason and Justice in them, under the New Charter, need not fear losing the Royal Allowance, if the People be not Egregiously wanting to themselves.
