 erieved by the Sentences of fuch Courts, in all Civil Cafes, to appeal, under the ufual Limitations and Reftrictions, 
 co Us in Our Privy Council. 
 
 We have alfo thought fit, with the Advice of Our Privy Council as aforefaid, to give unto the Governors and 
 Councils of Our faid Three New Colonies upon the Continent, full Powef and Authority to fettle and agree with
