Municipal Corporations Act, 1761

No issue concerning tolls or customs of a corporation shall be tried by jury thereof, but of indifferent county by the court appointed.

>X. And whereas it is very difficult, as the law now stands, to obtain impartial tryals in cities, in cases where the right to tolls, duties, or customs, claimed by the respective corporations of such cities, come in question: be it enacted by the authority aforesaid, That no issue shall hereafter be tried by a jury of any city in any action or suit concerning any tolls, duties, or customs, claimed by the corporation of such city; but every such issue shall be tried by a jury of an indifferent county, to be appointed by the court in which such action or suit shall depend.
