A group of three (3) sets of leaves of early printed laws from colonial and early Federal Massachusetts and New England: 

1. "Supressing of Unlicensed Houses". One (1) leaf from [Anno Regni Regis Gulilemi, III.] [London: Charles Bill & executrix of Thomas Newcomb, deceas'd, 1696]. 4to, 7 1/4 x 11 1/2 in. ESTC R36374; Wing E1039A. 

2. "Lotteries. Man-slaughter. Marriages....Marriages". Two (2) leaves from [Acts and Laws of his Majesty's English Colony of Connecticut in New-England in America.] [New London, Connecticut: Timothy Green, 1750] 7 3/16 x 11 7/16 in. 

3. "Criminal Matters...Rogues, Vagabonds, &c....Riot Act". Three (3) leaves from [The Perpetual Laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts...]. [Boston: Adams and Nourse, 1789]. 4to, each approx. 7 1/2 x 11 1/4 in. 

From the first true compilation of Massachusetts laws, a selection regarding hawkers, "rogues," and "tumultuous Assemblies, and the evil Consequences thereof." Most notably, the 26 March 1788 law notes in section V that "no person being an African or Negro, other than subject of the Emperour of Morocco, or a citizen of some one of the United States...shall tarry within this Commonwealth, for a longer time than two months." 

An interesting compilation of early statues regarding crime and punishment,
