The Genius of the Common Law
American state noted as a jurisdiction where the doctrine of de injuria has become obsolete.
’ As that doctrine is not intelligible without some detailed acquaintance with the forms of common law pleading, and has been obsolete for more than half a century alike in England and in New York, I shall merely observe that any one desiring an explanation of it may readily be satisfied in the adjacent State of New Jersey, where, if I am not mistaken, the replication de injuria is in full force to this day.

State whose constitution's voting-qualification clause uses 'freeman'.
The constitution of New York, (adopted in 1777,) uses the word in the same manner:
Provided always, That every person who now is a freeman of the city of Albany, or who was made a freeman of the city of New York, on or before the fourteenth day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and seventy-five, and shall be actually and usually resident in the said cities respectively, shall be entitled to vote for representatives in assembly within his place of residence.
