CHAP. LVI.
An ACT for the relief of the securities of John Beall, former
collector of the public taxes for Prince-George's county. |
Passed December
22. |
WHEREAS Humphrey Belt, Sarah Brookes, executrix
of Benjamin
Brookes, Richard Cramphin, Leonard Deakins, and Samuel Shekell,
of Prince-George's county, have set forth, by their petition to this
general assembly, that they became securities for John Beall, former collector
of
the public taxes for the said county for the years seventeen hundred and
eighty-four
and seventeen hundred and eighty-five, and that, by the neglect of the
said
John Beall, there is still due to the state a considerable part of the
taxes aforesaid,
for payment of which their property has been taken in execution by
the state,
and they are likely to be ruined if he is permitted to go on in the
collection
thereof: And whereas they have prayed, that the collection of the
residue of the
taxes uncollected by the said John Beall, and which ought to have been
collected
by him, may be taken from him and be placed in their hands, to be by them
completed, and that they may be vested with as full and ample powers of
execution
as the said John Beall had, or might have had, while collector of the tax
for
Prince-George's county; and it appearing to this general assembly,
that the
prayer of the said petition, so far as it relates to the powers of collection,
is reasonable,
and tat the public interest, as well as the security of the petitioners,
requires a compliance therewith, |
