                                            CHAP. LII.
An ACT for the more effectual relief of the securities of public
                                               debtors.
Preamble.     WHEREAS several securities of debtors to the public have alleged,
that they are not well able to give bond with security, so as to avail
themselves of execution allowed by law against their principals, who
have had the public indulgence to pay their debts till the year seventeen hundred
and ninety, on their bonds passed before the consolidating act, and made a part
of the consolidated fund; that their principals apparently grow less able to pay
their said debts, and suffer their securities to be executed for the interest, or remain
liable to execution for principal and interest; to prevent therefore the ruin
or well grounded uneasiness of securities,
Debtors to
give new
bonds on notice
in writing,
&c.
    II.  Be it enacted, by the general assembly of Maryland, That in case any security,
on the bond of any public debtor passed before the time of making the
said act, and which is thereby made a part of the said fund, shall give notice in
writing to the principal debtor, that he desires or requires him to give new security
for the debt and interest, or what thereof is due, such debtor shall, within
six weeks thereafter, give a new bond to this state, with two good securities, for
the payment of the debt and interest, or what thereof is due, which securities
shall be approved of by the treasurer; and, to enable him to judge the better of
their sufficiency, he may require a certificate of the assessment of their property,
and may examine them on oath, to be administered by him, touching their property;
and the treasurer is directed not to accept the new securities, unless he
shall be satisfied they are ample and sufficient; and on the treasurer approving the
said new bond and security, he shall endorse the same, that it is given in lieu of
the first, and the same shall be subject to every intent and purpose to the same
mode of recovery as the first was, which shall then be cancelled; but if the original
debtor shall refuse to give such new security as aforesaid, or shall delay to
do the same within the said six weeks, then shall the treasurer, on the request of
the security, and on a copy of the said notice being lodged with him, with an
affidavit endorsed thereon of the due service thereof, order an execution against
the principal, on which shall be made the whole debt and interest due with
costs.
