Supplemental purchase
money to be assessed by a
Jury Art. 4. And Whereas by reason of a difference between the two periods in respect
of the value of ready money as compared with Land, it may chance that the said sum of £6600,
although a sufficient price for the time when the same was assessed, would want more or less of
being so at the time when the same may come to be paid under this present Act, insomuch
that when reinvested in the purchase of Lands or other Tenements, it would not produce
Lands or Tenements of the same value or annual rent as if it had been paid in
immediately upon the finding of the said Verdict, whereby, in order that the said Proprietors
may be put into the same plight as they would have been in, had the said former purchase
been compleated at the time when the same might in pursuance of the said Verdict have been
compleated, Justice may require a farther sum be paid in the nature of a supplemental price,
Be it enacted that, upon application made out of Court and in a summary way by or
on behalf of any party interested, any one Judge of the Court of Kings Bench shall issue to
the Sheriff of the County of Surry a Precept in the nature of a Writ of Enquiry of Damages
commanding him by the Verdict of a Jury to enquire into and assess the sum proper to be
paid as and for such supplemental price.
