Every act passed on or after October 19, 1792, is to be understood to contain the following clause of commencement: “this act shall commence in force from and after the passing thereof unless its commencement shall be particularly expressed to be on a different day, or in a different form. Those acts which, passed before the 19th, of October, 1792, and commence heir operation on a different day from the day of their passing, will be specified.
