CHAPTER XLI.

An Act to enable John Norwood, surviving executor of the last Will and 
Testament of Henry Bradley, deceased, to sell and convey the land of the said 
deceased.

I. Whereas Henry Bradley, deceased, (of Halifax county) in the year one 
thousand seven hundred and sixty four, did appoint John Norwood and Jennings 
Hackney executors of his last will and testament, and did invest the said 
executors with power jointly to sell and convey his lands, and by his said 
will direct the manner and uses to which the money arising by such sale should 
be appropriated; and whereas Jennings Hackney, one of the said executors did 
decease before the aforesaid lands were sold, which circumstance makes it 
doubtful whether the surviving executor has legal power to sell and convey the 
aforesaid lands: Therefore,

II. 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 John Norwood, 
surviving executor of the last will and testament of Henry Bradley, deceased, 
be, and is hereby authorized and empowered to enter upon, sell and convey, the 
lands of the aforesaid deceased, and the said executor, after deducting so 
much of the money arising by such sale as the county court of Halifax shall 
adjudge a reasonable compensation for his disbursements, shall pay and 
appropriate all the remainder of said money to such uses as the last will and 
testament of the aforesaid deceased doth direct.

Read three times, and ratified in General Assembly, the tenth day of November, 
1779.
