The Staple doth signifie this or that Town whither the Merchants by common order and command do carry their Commodities as Wooll and the like to vent and utter by the great or whole-sale The Statute-Staple is either properly or improperly so called That which is properly so called is a Bond of Record acknowledged before the Mayor of the Staple in the presence of one of the two Constables of the same Staple and sealed with the Seal of the Staple and sometimes also with the Seal of the party which it seems is not absolutely necessary This was devised and used only for Merchants and Merchandizes of the same Staple and is founded upon 27 E. 3. Stat. 2. Co. super Litt. 289. But this now may be used by Merchants or any other for the payment of debts or assurance of Lands or other things and is of the same nature with the Statute-Merchant A Statute-Staple improperly so called is an Obligation of Record founded upon the Statute of 23 H. 8.6 and is in the nature of a Statute-staple and of the same force This is and may be acknowledged before one of the Chief Justices and in their absence before the Mayor of the Staple at Westminster and the Recorder
