An ACT to empower William Berry Warman, a minor, administrator
with the will annexed, and residuary legatee, of William
Berry, deceased, to sell the lands therein mentioned,
and
to apply the money arising therefrom. |
Passed May
15. |
WHEREAS William Berry Warman, a minor, administrator
with the
will annexed, and residuary legatee, of William Berry, late of Prince-George's
county, deceased, by his petition to this general assembly,
hath set forth, that he is seized of three tracts or parcels of land, lying
in Prince-George's
county aforesaid, to wit, Berry's Enclosure, containing three hundred
and forty-seven acres, Oxen Hill, containing seventy acres, and Holly Spring,
containing fifty acres, devised to him by the said William Berry, which
lands,
not being settled, are rather a burthen to him; that the estate of
the said William
Berry is much involved by reason of debts and legacies, which the personal
estate is scarcely sufficient to discharge, and prayed that an act may
pass to enable
him to sell and convey the aforesaid lands, and the money arising therefrom
to apply towards the payment of the debts and legacies aforesaid, so that
he may
be able to save some part of the personal estate for his own use; which
being
thought reasonable, |
Preamble. |
II. Be it enacted,
by the general assembly of Maryland, That the said William
Berry Warman be, and he is hereby empowered and enabled, to sell and dispose
of the aforesaid lands, lying in Prince-George's county aforesaid, to wit,
Berry's Enclosure, Oxen Hill and Holly Spring, which were devised to him
by
the said William Berry, and the same, when sold, to make over and convey
to
the purchaser or purchasers in fee-simple, by good and sufficient deed
or deeds
in law; and the money arising from such sale to apply and appropriate
to the
payment and discharge of the just debts due from the estate of the said
William
Berry, and the pecuniary legacies by his last will and testament bequeathed;
provided
nevertheless, that the said William Berry Warman, before such sale as
aforesaid, enter into bond with such security as shall be approved by the
orphans
court of Prince-George's county, with a condition to apply and appropriate
so
much of the money arising from such sale as may be necessary to pay and
discharge
the just debts due from the estate of the said William Berry, and the pecuniary
legacies by his last will and testament bequeathed. |
W. B. Warman
