• year: 1809

• notes: Deliberation over suspending debt executions for the duration of the 1807 Embargo led to the passage of this law, which allowed for suspending, deferring, and postponing such executions in a wide variety of circumstances; Swem reported this item with the erroneous title "Act suspending Executions;" title here from act itself (Chap. V of Acts of December 1808 Assembly).
  No copy known extant; Pleasants was ordered to print 1000 copies of the law on January 31, 1809, for the use of members of the Assembly, apparently for distribution in their districts.
