A Supplement to an Act, entitled, An Act to empower the Trustee
herein after named to sell certain Lands of the late William
O'Bryon, deceased, situate, lying and being, in Queen-Anne's
County, and for other purposes therein mentioned.

WHEREAS the original act, to which this is a supplement, is defective, in as much as it con-
tains no provision for the benefit of creditors; and it has been represented to this general
assembly, by the memorial of Charles S. Sewell, a creditor of the said William O'Bryon, that pre-
vious to the passage of the said act he had filed a bill in the high court of chancery against the heirs
of the said O'Bryon, to obtain a decree for the sale of the said lands, and it is reasonable that the
said act should not operate to bar the recovery of his or any other just claim against the estate,
therefore,

sale of certain lands of the late William O'Bryon, appointed by the act to which this is a supple-
ment, be and he is hereby authorised and directed to pay unto the creditor or creditors of the said
William O'Bryon, his, her or their order, executors, administrators or assigns, under the direction
of the chancellor of Maryland, or of the orphans court of Queen-Anne's county, in this stale, so
much of the sum 6r sums of money arising from the sale of said lands, and which has or have been,
or shall hereafter be, received by him in virtue of the trust and authority aforesaid, as will satisfy
his, her or their claims respectively.

III. AND BE IT ENACTED, That on the neglect or refusal of the said Edward Clayton to pay the
said sum or sums of money, or a proportionable dividend thereof, unto the creditor or creditors who
shall exhibit, legally authenticated, their claims for settlement, suit or suits may be instituted on
the bond executed by him to the state of Maryland, pursuant to the provisions of the act to which
this is a supplement, in the name of the state, at the instance, and for the use of, the said creditor
or creditors, his, her or their heirs, executors, administrators or assigns, against the said Edward
Clayton, his heirs, executors and administrators, and all or any part of the said sum or sums of
money arising from the sale of said lands which have been, or shall be, received by him as trustee,
may be recovered thereon in the same manner as debts are recovered on administration bonds.
