† Ch. 110. |
WHEREAS it is represented to this general assembly,
by the petition
of Jonathan Edwards and Gilbert Middleton, of the city of
Baltimore, that they applied to the general assembly at November
session, eighteen hundred and four, to be released from debts which
they were unable to pay, and were accordingly included in the act
passed at last session, † entitled, An act for the relief of sundry
insolvent debtors; that they have been unable to take the benefit of
the said act, in consequence of more than one third of the amount
of their debts being due to one of the banks in the city of Baltimore,
the officers of which do not conceive themselves authorised
to give their assent to the discharge of the said Jonathan Edwards
and Gilbert Middleton, although they have never made any objection
to the same; therefore, |
Benefit of insolvent
laws extended
to them. |
2. BE IT ENACTED, by the General Assembly
of Maryland, That
the judges of Baltimore county court be and they are hereby authorised
and empowered, to extend to the said Jonathan Edwards
and Gilbert Middleton the full benefit and relief of the act of assembly
passed at November session, eighteen hundred and four,
entitled, An act for the relief of sundry insolvent debtors, without
their producing the assent, in writing, of two thirds of their creditors,
as required by the third section of the said act, any thing
therein contained to the contrary notwithstanding. |
