WHEREAS at a Session of Assembly begun and held at the City of
Annapolis, the Twenty-sixth Day of April, Anno Domini One
Thousand Seven Hundred and Fifteen, it was thought necessary
for the Good and Quiet of the Inhabitants of this province, to enact a
Law,
entitled, An Act for the Stay of Execution after the Tenth Day of May
yearly:
But forasmuch as by the aforementioned Law there is no Provision made
for
the Stay of any Execution issuing out of the High Court of Appeals, the
High Court of Chancery, the Commisssary's Court, nor of small Debts recovered
before any one of the Justices of the County Courts; and this present
General Assembly having taken the same into their serious Consideration,
think it but just and reasonable, that all Executions issuing out of the
Courts
aforesaid, or Judgments in small Debts recovered before a Justice of the
Peace, should be under the same Restrictions and Limitations, as to the
Stay
of Execution yearly, as those issuing out of the Provincial and County
Courts:
It is therefore prayed that it may be Enacted,
II. And be it
Enacted, by the Right Honourable the Lord Proprietary, by an
with the Advice and Consent of his Lordship's Governor and the Upper and
Lower
Houses of Assembly, and the Authority of the same, That from and after
the End of
this present Session of Assembly, and after the Tenth Day of May
in any Year,
that in all Judgments or Decrees whatsoever, obtained in the High Court
of
Appeals, the High Court of Chancery, the Commissary's Court, or of small
Debts before a Justice of the Peace, against any Person whatsoever, the
Persons
against whom such Judgments or Decrees have been, or shall hereafter
be obtained, shall have the same Liberty and Advantage, in the same Manner,
and before the same Persons, or Staying such Executions, pursuant to the
Directions of the aforementioned Act, in as full and ample Manner to all
Intents
and Purposes, as if they had been particularly mentioned therein.
