PUBLIC LANDS - LAND OFFICES - ENTERING CAVEATS Act of Jan. 22, 1802, P.L. 21, No. 11 Cl. 68 AN ACT An act limiting the operation of caveats entered in the land- office of this Commonwealth, against the issuing of patents. Whereas, the provision heretofore made by law, for allowing caveats to be entered in the land-office of this Commonwealth, against the issuing of patents, has in many instances, produced great inconvenience and embarrassment, to warrantees and purchasers, as well as delay in completing titles to land, by suffering the said caveats to remain as a bar, for an indefinite length of time, without any process had thereon: Therefore, Section 1. (Expired.) Section 2. Effect of caveat No caveat, note on survey, or writing in the nature of a caveat, hereafter to be entered in either of the offices of the land office of this Commonwealth, shall continue to bar the issuing of a patent to the person or persons, or his, her or their legal representative or representatives, against whom such caveat may be entered, during a longer period than two years from the entry of such caveat, in the land office aforesaid; unless the party or parties interested in the land, or his, her or their agent or agents, assignee or assignees, shall, within the term aforesaid, take out a citation thereon, in order to bring such dispute to a decision, and prosecute the same to effect. 1802, Jan. 22, P.L. 22, 3 sm.l. 480, Sec. 2.
