the time the money ought to have been paid, the principal to be paid on
or before the first day of January seventeen hundred and ninety, and interest
to be paid on the first day of September, annually, and such bonds
shall, from their respective dates, be a lien on the real estate of such
obligors

be issued
for any debt now due from this state; and on affidavit that any
debtor for such taxes is about to run away or remove his effects, the said
