| Preamble. |
WHEREAS Thomas Dorsey, being indebted, with his
partners, passed
bonds to the state on or about the fourth day of February, seventeen
hundred and eighty-two, to the amount of eight thousand one hundred
and forty pounds, payable in continental state and state money, and by
resolves of the last session the said debt might have been paid in final
settlement
certificates at the rate of twenty-two shillings and six-pence for every
ten shillings
due, at the times mentioned in the said resolutions; and the said Thomas
Dorsey having made his utmost exertions, hath alone completed the first
payment,
and is likely, if indulged with time, to pay the whole, but if the time
is not lengthened, and his first payment becomes forfeited, he and his
family
will be ruined, and his private creditors lose of their debts; and he hath,
by his
humble petition, prayed to have the time lengthened: |
Time of payment
extended. |
II. Be it enacted,
by the General Assembly of Maryland, That the time for
the second payment on the sid bonds of the said Thomas Dorsey be extended
till the tenth day of August next, and the third payment till the tenth
day of
February, seventeen hundred and eighty-nine, any thing in the said resolutions
to the contrary notwithstanding. |
T. Dorsey
may prosecute,
&c. |
III. And be
it enacted, That the said Thomas Dorsey, his executors or administrators,
may, at his and their costs, use and prosecute any process in the

obligor in the said bonds, or any of them, or his or their heirs, executors
or
administrators, for the recovery of the share or proportion of any of the
said
obligors respectively of the payments made, or to be made, by the said
Thomas
Dorsey, beyond his proportion of the said debt. |
