[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.
