eighteen hundred and twenty two, wherein judgments have been obtained, or
accounts have been settled, and where in the opinion of the state agents, that
the debts are perfectly secure, and that the state can run no possible risk in
granting a further indulgence, the state agents are hereby authorised and em-
powered, to extend indulgence, and suspend further proceedings against the
