CHAPTER 227.

An act for the relief of Robert H. Goldsborough and Edward N.
Hambleton as securities of Allen Bowie, late sheriff of Talbot
county.

Preamble.

Whereas, It appears to this general assembly of Maryland,
that Allen Bowie of Talbot county and late sheriff thereof, de-
parted this life having many executions in his hands, upon which
property to a considerable amount has been taken and remain in
execution; And whereas, it has been represented by the securities,
Robert H. Goldsborough and Edward N. Hambleton, that they
are apprehensive that they will sustain injury by permitting the
said executions to remain unexecuted till the meeting of the next
court in May—Therefore,

Judge may or-
der process.

Be it enacted By the General Assembly of Maryland, That
upon application by the said securities or either of them to any
judge of Talbot county court during the recess thereof, stating the
said facts, the said judge shall and may, if he may deem it expedi-
ent so to do, order and direct that the said securities or either of
them may proceed in carrying into full operation the said process;
and the process thus executed and completed shall be executed in
the same manner as if the same was done by the said Bowie in his
life-time; and all sales made thereof of real or personal property,
shall have the same effect and operation as if the same had been
sold by the said Bowie as sheriff; and his securities shall be liable
for the faithful performance of the said duties in the same man-
ner as if the said duties had been performed by the said Bowie in
his life-time; and the said securities or either of them shall be en-
titled to receive the same fees for the performance of the said du-
ties as the said Bowie would have been entitled to, if he had per-
formed the same; and the said fees so received are to inure to and
for the benefit of the said Bowie's estate.
