 [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.
