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
