ance of a certain John F. Brown, to answer a bill of indict-
ment; and whereas the grand jury, at the term to which he
was recognized, did’ not find a true bill against the said
Brown, nor at any time thereafter, and a judgment was
entered in the county court of Halifax county againt the

forfeited recognizance; and that it would be just and equita-
ble to relieve the said Chism from the enforcement of said
judgment,

judgment, be shall be, and he is hereby, released from the

nizance, and exonerated from the payment thereof.
