CHAP. XXII.
An Act for the relief of Dominick Galt and John Thomas, of the City
of
Baltimore. Lib. TH. No. 2, fol. 43.
See Ch. 108. |
| Preamble. |
WHEREAS it has been represented to this general
assembly, that
Dominick Galt and John Thomas of the city of Baltimore, having
become unable, from various misfortunes in trade, to pay their
debts, had offered to assign their whole estate for the equal benefit
of all their creditors, on condition of their releasing them from
their debts, which offer had been rejected by one of their principal
creditors, who then refused, and has since uniformly refused to consent
to release the said Dominick Galt and John Thomas, upon their
conveying all their estate as aforesaid: And whereas it is also represented,
that from losses in trade subsequent to this offer, the said
Dominick Galt and John Thomas have unfortunately lost that part
of their estate which they had intended to appropriate to the satisfaction
of the said creditor, who is now prosecuting his claim
against them, with the declared intention of opposing their release
under the insolvent law, whereby the said Dominick Galt and John
Thomas will be deprived of the benefit of the said law; and it appearing
to this general assembly reasonable that they should be
relieved in the premises, therefore, |
Benefit of insolvent
laws extended
to them. |
1. BE IT ENACTED, by the General Assembly
of Maryland, That
the judges of Baltimore county court, be and they are hereby authorised
and empowered, without the said Dominick Galt and John
Thomas being under the necessity of producing to the said county
court the assent of so many of their creditors, as have due to them
in amount two-thirds of the debts owing by the said Dominick Galt
and John Thomas, to extend and afford to the said Dominick Galt
and John Thomas, all the benefits, advantages and provisions of
the act of assembly, passed at November session eighteen hundred |
