WHEREAS, it has been represented to this General
Assembly, by the petition of Jacob Kirk, Slater Brown
and Mary Kirk, that one Timothy Kirk, (whose place
of residence is now unknown and who is supposed to
be dead) and the said Mary Kirk, his wife, did here-
tofore make and execute a deed of trust, hearing date
on the twelfth day of May, in the year one thousand
eight hundred and thirty six, and did therein assign
unto the said Jacob Kirk and Slater Brown as trustees
or assignees for the benefit of the creditors of the said
Timothy Kirk, all their estate, real personal or mixed,
of whatsoever nature and kind and wheresoever situate,
part of which lies in the State of Maryland: and where-
as it appears that the said deed of trust was executed
and acknowledged by the said Timothy Kirk, before
John Swift, Esquire, Mayor of the City of Philadelphia,
who certified the same, under his hand and the seal of
said city, and by the said Mary Kirk in the first place
before John T. Denny, Esquire, a justice of the peace,
of Chester county, in the State of Pennsylvania, who
has certified the same, and afterwards before Isaac
Darlington, Esquire, President Judge, of the fifteenth
judicial district of the said State, of Pennsylvania and
of the court of Common Pleas of Chester county afore-
said, who has also certified the same, none of which
several acknowledgments have been made conformably
to the laws of this State, in such case made and pro-
vided; and whereas it also appears that the said Mary
Kirk refused to make her second acknowledgement as
aforesaid, or to consent to the passage of any act of
Assembly for the confirmation of said deed of trust, un-
til the said Jacob Kirk and Slater Brown, the said
trustees or assignees entered into a covenant with one
John Reynolds as her trustee to pay her the sum of one
thousand dollars in lien of any right or claim of dower
she might by possibility now or hereafter have in the
said real property in Maryland; and whereas it furth-
er appears that the said deed of trust has been recorded
