4. AND, whereas the
said original act required that any debtor
who shall apply for the benefit of the said act, shall produce to
the court, or judge, to whom he shall apply, the assent, in writing,
of so many of his creditors as have due to them two thirds of the

and in many instances more than one third of the debts due
by debtors applying for relief is due to banks or other corporate

not conceive themselves authorised to consent to his release; therefore,

the power of such corporate bodies, executors, administrators and
trustees, to sign their assent to the release of any insolvent debtor,
under the insolvent laws of this state, the said corporate bodies,
executors, administrators and trustees, be and they, or any of them,
are hereby declared duly authorised to sign their assent to such release
of any insolvent debtor, whenever they, or any of them, shall
deem the same right and proper. |
