CHAPTER XLIII.

An Act to Amend an Act, entitled "An Act to amend an Act, entitled An Act to 
remove all Disabilities from, and others therein named."

Whereas by an act, entitled "An Act to amend an Act, entitled An Act to remove 
all disabilities from Simon Cleary, and others therein named," passed last 
General Assembly at Tarborough, it is inserted and set forth in the preamble 
of the said act, that the benefits intended for the persons therein named, 
were extended to them on account of their inability to come into this State 
within the time limited by the act passed in November, 1784, commonly called 
the confiscation act, instead of December, one thousand seven hundred and 
seventy-seven; and instead of saying that a further provision be made for the 
relief of the said Simon Cleary, it is mentioned to be for his life, contrary 
to the intention of the legislature, and inconsistent with the enacting 
clauses of the said act: Therefore to carry the intention of the General 
Assembly into effect, and to prevent the said act from being misconstrued:

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 the said emendatory 
act passed at Tarborough as aforesaid, shall operate as fully, amply and 
forcibly as if the words December, one thousand seven hundred and seventy-
seven, had been expressed instead of the word and figures November, 1784, and 
the word relief instead of the word life; and the said act shall be so 
understood, construed and expounded, and in the same manner as if the words 
December, one thousand seven hundred and seventy-seven had been therein 
expressed instead of the word and figures November, 1784, and as if the word 
relief had been therein expressed instead of the word life as aforesaid; any 
law, usage or custom to the contrary notwithstanding.
