Rides3, or Blackstone?
Rides3, or Blackstone?
Who should I trust to know British law in the 1700s...gee, this is a tough choice!
Trust the House of Commons Journal:

...which I've already posted numerous times. Why believe whatever Blackstone decides to say about it when we have access to the ACTUAL English law?
That's what's great about the internet. It gives us access directly to the source so that blowhards can be exposed for what they are.
