CHAPTER L.

An Act to enable William Beaty, Administrator of the Estate of James White, 
late of Bladen County, deceased, to sell the Lands and Tenements herein 
mentioned.

Whereas, it is represented to this Assembly, that James White, late of Bladen 
county, was, at the time of his decease, greatly indebted, and that if the 
personal estate were applied to the payment of his debts, his widow and 
children would be destitute of support; wherefore,

I. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of North Carolina, and 
it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same, That it shall be lawful for 
the said William Beaty, Administrator as aforesaid, to sell and convey one lot 
of land, with the appurtenances, number one hundred and thirteen, in Elizabeth-
Town; three hundred and twenty acres of land on the east side of Lyon's swamp; 
and a tract of land on Black River, known by the names of Shaw's Old Field, 
all which lands are situate in Bladen county aforesaid. And the said 
Administrator is hereby empowered to make conveyances of the said lands to the 
purchasers, which shall be as effectual and valid in law, as if the same had 
been made by the said James White, in his lifetime.

II. And be it also enacted, That the said William Beaty shall advertise in the 
Fayetteville Gazette, the time and place to be appointed for the sale of the 
lands aforesaid, two months before such sale; and the same shall be sold on 
six months credit, the purchaser giving bond with sufficient security to the 
said Beaty, for payment of the purchase money.

III. And be it further enacted, That the said William Beaty shall apply the 
money arising from the sale of the lands aforesaid, to the payment of the 
debts of the said deceased; and the lands aforementioned, and the money which 
shall arise from the sale of the same, shall not be liable to dower of the 
widow of the said deceased, any law to the contrary notwithstanding.
