An Act for the relief of James West, an Insolvent Debtor.
Lib. TH.
No. 1, fol. 338. |
| Preamble. |
WHEREAS it is represented to this general assembly,
that James
West, of the city of Baltimore, having, by numerous losses and
misfortunes, become incompetent to pay the whole of his debts, did
convey all his estate, both real and personal, to trustees, for the general
benefit of his creditors, on condition of their releasing him
from his debts, and that all the creditors of the said James West
did accept the benefit secured to them by the said conveyance, and
release him from their claims, except two, who have altogether refused
so to do, and are now prosecuting their demands against him
at a time when he is left destitute of all means of satisfying them;
that the said James West, in applying for a remedy to his misfortunes
under the insolvent law passed at November session, eighteen
hundred and five, is deprived of all relief therefrom, by reason of
the aforesaid conveyance, of the release of the debts of more than
nine-tenths of his said creditors, and of the refusal of the said two
remaining creditors to assent to release under the said acts of assembly;
therefore, |
Benefits of acts
extended to James
West. |
2. BE IT ENACTED, by the General Assembly
of Maryland, That
the judges of Baltimore county court be and they are hereby authorised |
