An act far the relief of David G. Odell.

1850.
Preamble.
|
WHEREAS, it appears of record, that some time dur-
ing November term, eighteen hundred and thirty-eight,
Worcester county court, a writ of fieri facias did issue
out of said court to the sheriff of said county directed,
David G. Odell being at that time sheriff of said county,
returnable to said court on the first Monday of May,
eighteen hundred and thirty-nine, at the suit of John
Spencer, against the goods and chattles, lands and ten-
ements of James W. Dennis and Nancy F. Dennis, and
the clerk of said court neglected to record the day that
said writ was issued; and whereas, the said David G.
Odell, sheriff as aforesaid, after the said writ came to
his hands, did by virtue thereof, sell the interest, of the
said James W. Dennis in and to certain lands lying in
said county, on the twenty-sixth day of March, one
thousand eight hundred and thirty-nine, to satisfy said
writ; and whereas, the said writ hath been lost, or des-
troyed, so that the said sheriff cannot make return there-
to, as therein he was commanded, and by reason of
there being no record of the day of issue of said, a
duplicate thereof cannot be made.
