Thanks, can you give some indication of the source of this text?, We also have scans of Ruffhead's Statutes at Large if you wanted to confirm the text in places. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 10:33, 10 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Hi, It was Collection of Statutes Connected with the General Administration of the Law: Arranged According to the Order of Subjects, with Notes, Volume 8 of 1836. There's an image on Google Books which looks like an original rather than a reprint.  The Google OCR is not totally accurate, picking up things like the margin notes, so I re-processed, merged and corrected it myself.


 * I've had a quick look at the Ruffhead. Apart from the font, there's rather more capitalistion and some numbering but the only text differences I've spotted are Wooll rather than wool and Nottingh. rather than Notting..  I did spot a typo I'd overlooked in my text but the originals are the same. I suppose we want to use the most original text but is there any better source than these? -- Cavrdg (talk) 12:39, 10 March 2016 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure, Ruffhead's collection was at one time considered authoratative, but there are other collections on archive.org,

The "offical" version is whatever is stored on parchment at Westminster, but I don't think we'd be able to get access to that. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 18:18, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
