The Bill states that Micahel KEGERICE at the time of his death, was indebted to Thomas DRAPER in the sum of $159.32 and unto Henry ANKENY as trustee for Joshua NEWCOMER, in the sum of $25.54 - and that said Michael KEGERICE was also indebted to diverse other persons. That the said KEGERICE, being indebted, died intestate in the beginning of the year 1841 having Elizabeth, Michael and David, his children and heirs at law - the said Elizabeth being intermarried with Henry TRITLE - and the said Michael and David being minors under twenty-one years of age. That administration of the personal estate of said deceased, has been granted by the Orphan's Court of Washington County unto Amos ADAMS. That said personal estate is insufficient to pay the debts due and owing by said Michael KEGERICE, deceased, at the time of his death. And that said Michael left certain real estate in Washington County, which descended to his heirs at law. And acting by the Petition of said Thomas DRAPER and Henry ANKENY, and also by the return of the Sheriff of Washington County, to the writ of subpoena issued in this case, that the said Henry TRITLE and Elizabeth his wife, the said Michael KEGERICE Jr and David KEGERICE are not citizens of the State of Maryland and do not reside therein. It is therefore adjudged and ordered this 6th day of January, 1842, that the complainants by causing a copy of this order to be inserted in some newspaper published at Hagerstown once in each of three successive weeks before the 3rd day of February, 1842, give notice to the said absent defendants of the object and substance of this bill; and warn them to appear in this Court in person or by solicitor, on or before the first day of July, 1842, to answer the premises and show cause if any they have, why a decree ought not to be passed as prayed - otherwise the bill will be taken as confessed against them.
