¶1The act of 1818 was made for the protection of creditors: the act of 1775 was made for the protection of purchasers. They are consistent in their provisions; and there was no design to impair the latter. There was no evidence of actual to supply the place of constructive notice; and if there had been, the fact was left to the jury.
