The most complete legislation for the establishment of courts, and the regulation of the practice therein, in Penn- sylvania, up to this time had been the laws passed in 1715. 1 Now, July 21, 1719, these met the fate of their predeces- sors and were repealed, in toto, by the English Crown, and Pennsylvania was again without any judiciary system or plan for the proper administration and execution of law. With the government devolved upon proprietaries, whose chief aim and ambition appeared to be... to forward their own per- sonal interests and to secure royal favor; with a hold-over lieutenant-governor (Sir William Keith), the most courtly and most dangerous exponent of the royal right and pre- rogative which the province knew since the days of Benja- min Fletcher; crafty and obsequious with the Assembly, ever ready, since the death of the first Penn, to take issue with the proprietaries in succession when necessary to advance his own policy ; with the representatives of the people in the assembly discouraged at the apparent futile outcome of their endeavors, it is not strange that the purely English idea should be in the ascendancy, and that the English Privy Council should, for once, approve a Pennsylvania Act for 1 Statutes- at-Large Vol.
