A supplement to the act to prevent the unnecessary accumulation

Preamble.
|
WHEREAS, it is represented to this General
Assembly that
there are many difficulties, delays and unnecessary expenses
attending actions of ejectment, commenced and prosecuted
according to the usages and practices of the courts of this
state; and whereas, it is the duty of the Legislature to extend
to actions for recovering of lands and other real estate, those
principles of economy and simplicity, which have been extended
to actions of debt and other personal actions, therefore,
|
Ejectment cases
where defendants
sever.
Proviso.

Section 1. Be it enacted by
the General Assembly of Maryland,
That if any action of ejectment now, or hereafter to be
depending in any county court of this state, against the several
defendants, the said defendants have severed, or shall sever
in their defence, it shall not be necessary for the parties
to return more than one set of plats, explanations or depositions
in said action, but it shall be the duty of the plaintiff in
ejectment, to make out one set of instructions, and therein,
and also in all his plats, explanations and depositions, he shall
plainly designate the defendants or defendant against whom
the said instructions, plats, explanations and depositions, and
every part thereof, are intended to be used; and each and
every defendant thus severing in his defence, shall be at liberty
to give such instructions and make such locations and explanations,
and take such depositions as he may think necessary
for his defence; and such defendants shall not be bound
by any instruction, location, explanation or deposition of any
co-defendant severing from him in defence, as aforesaid,
nor by any instruction, location, explanation or deposition of
the plaintiff, unless it shall plainly appear that such instruction,
location, explanation or deposition was intended to be
used against said defendant; and where any location shall be
made on the part of any one of the defendants, the same may
be used and taken advantage of by any other of the defendants
to said action; Provided, such other defendant shall, in
his instructions, plainly declare that he will abide by and use
said location.
|
Instructions for
conducting.
|
Sec. 2. And be it enacted,
That the said action of ejectment
shall be conducted in all respects, as near as may be in like
