Two or more persons
being jointly

of debt &c.
and one die, his
representatives
may be charged. |

of Maryland, That
if two or more persons are jointly bound for the payment of a
debt, or for the performance or forbearance of any act, or for any
other thing, and one or more of said obligors die, his or their representatives
may be charged by virtue of such obligation, in the
same manner as such representatives might have been charged if

Arrests by attachment
or capias. |
2. AND BE IT ENACTED, That it shall and may
be lawful for
any sheriff or other officer who shall have lawfully arrested any
person in virtue of any attachment or capias, and permitted such
person to go at large after such arrest, at any time before or on
the return day of such attachment or capias, or during the term
of
the court to which the same is or shall be returnable, again to arrest
such person in virtue of the same attachment or capias, for
the purpose of producing such person before the court, judge or
justice before whom such capias or attachment shall be returnable;
and such second arrest shall be as available and justifiable in law
as the original or first arrest, and the officer making such second
arrest, shall have the same power and right to detain or hold to
bail the person so arrested, as he had, or could have had in virtue
of the first service of such capias or attachment, any thing in
any
law, usage or custom, to the contrary notwithstanding. |

plaintiff below, or his legal representative in the court of appeals,
shall be permitted, on motion in that court, in every such case to
amend the transcript of the record of proceedings, by entering a
release upon the record, of the damages exceeding those laid in
the declaration, and the court of appeals shall proceed upon such
amended transcript, in the same manner, and give the same judgment |
