CHAPTER XXXVIII.

An Act to Pardon John Bradley, of the Town of Wilmington.

Whereas, John Bradley, of the town of Wilmington, in the county of New 
Hanover, some time in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and 
eighty-seven, obtained a pardon from the Governor of this State, in 
consequence of application to him made, and of the recommendation of the 
General Assembly in behalf of the said John Bradley, then accused for the 
killing of Samuel Swann; which pardon, on being duly pleaded to an indictment 
for the said supposed offence, in the superior court of law for Wilmington 
district, was not allowed by a majority of the Judges of the said court; and 
the said John Bradley in his petition to this General Assembly having set 
forth such circumstances as upon due enquiry and full consideration of the 
same, it appears the said John Bradley ought to be pardoned:

I. Be it therefore 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 
John Bradley is fully, freely and absolutely pardoned, acquitted and 
discharged of and from any prosecution for murder, manslaughter or other 
species of homicide of whatever nature in law or construction thereof, done or 
committed by the said John Bradley in the killing of the said Samuel Swann, 
with which he now is or hereafter may be charged in any of the courts of this 
state.
