viz. Philadelphia, Bucks and Chester, was one of the earliest acts of

made about the year 1682. Proud's Hist. vol. 1 p. 234 vol. 2, p. 258.

of justice. There is no part of England that is not within some county, and
the shire-reve, (sheriff) originally a yearly officer, was the governor of
the county. Four of the counties of England, viz. Lancaster, Chester, Durham
and Ely, were called counties Palatine, which were jurisdictions of a
peculiar nature, and held by, especial charter from the king. See stat. 27
