Confirmatio chartarum, the 25 Edw. 1, A.D. 1297. This statute, being in the form of a charter, was sealed with the king's Great Seal, at Ghent, in Flanders, on November 5th, as appears by a memorandum upon the roll. It re-enacts Magna Charta, with the addition of giving that security to personal property which Magna Charta gave to personal liberty, and must be referred to for the terms of Magna Charta, in the 'Statutes of the Realm' and the 'Revised Statutes.'
