IN SENATE,
December 12, 1794.
Resolved, that the consideration of the bill entitled "An act concerning occupying claimants of land who may be legally evicted from the same," be postponed until the next session of Assembly, and that the public Printer be requested to publish the same in the Kentucky Gazette, and the Clerk shall furnish the Printer with a copy for that purpose. Extract &c.
Attest B. Thruston, C.S.
An Act concerning occupying claimants of land, who may be legally evicted from the same.
WHEREAS from the frequency of interfering claims to lands and the unsettled state of the country it often happens that titles lay for a long time dormant, and many persons deducing a fair title from the record settle themselves on land supposing it to be their own from which they may afterwards be evicted by a title paramount, which greatly obstructs the cultivation and population of our country and may eventually ruin many innocent people; for remedy whereof,
Sec. 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly, that all and every person who shall have settled or may hereafter settle on any land for which he can show a plain and connected title in law or equity deduced from the record of some public office without actual notice of an adverse title in like manner derived from record, and who shall afterwards be legally evicted from the same, shall be exempt and freed from all and every species of action, suit or prosecution for or on account of any trespass, rents and profits or damages which shall have been done accrued or incurred at any time prior to the receipt of actual notice of the adverse claim by which the eviction may be effected.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, that the court who shall pronounce and give the judgment of eviction either in equity or at law shall at the time nominate seven persons of the neighbourhood where the land lies, any five of whom shall have power, and it shall be their duty to go on the premises and after viewing the same assess the value of all such valuable and lasting improvements which shall have been made thereon before the receipt of such notice as aforesaid, which assessment signed and sealed by the persons making the same shall be by them lodged with the clerk of the court wherein they were nominated before the next ensuing term, at which time it shall be entered up as a judgment in favor of the person evicted and against the successful claimant of the land, nor shall the possession of the land be changed from the one to the other until the amount of such judgment be paid, or sufficient bond and security to be judged of by the court and taken by the clerk at the time of entering up such judgment, be given to pay the same within twelve months from the date thereof, provided that the balance shall be ultimately in favor of such occupying claimant according to the provisions and directions of this act.
Sec. 3. And to declare what shall be the law between adverse claimants under distinct titles of the kinds aforesaid, after notice, Be it further enacted, that the persons nominated by the court as aforesaid, when making an assessment shall carefully distinguish between such improvements as were made on the land prior to notice, and those which were made after notice; and when making an assessment they shall also take into their consideration all such necessary and lasting improvements as shall have been made on the land after the receipt of such notice as aforesaid, and shall ascertain the amount of the value thereof; and they shall
also take into consideration and ascertain the amount of the value of the rents and profits arising from the whole of the improvements on the land, from the time that notice of such adverse claim was received by the occupying claimant; and then after taking the amount of the one from the other, the balance shall be added to or subtracted from the amount of the value of the improvement which shall have been made before the receipt of the notice aforesaid as the nature of the case shall require.
Sec. 4. And be it further enacted, that the persons nominated by the court in virtue of this act shall be called commissioners and shall respectively take an oath or affirmation to do equal right to the parties in the controversy, and shall also have power and authority to call witnesses; to administer the necessary oaths and to examine them for the ascertainment of any fact material in the enquiry and assessment by this act directed.
Sec. 5. And be it further enacted, that the said Commissioners in making every estimate of value by virtue of this act shall state separately the result of each, and any party thinking himself or herself aggrieved by the report of the said Commissioners, shall upon the return thereof to the court state his exceptions thereto in writing, which shall be considered by the court and allowed or overruled as shall seem lawful and right, and if such exceptions shall be allowed the court shall proceed to nominate other Commissioners or the same; whose duty it shall be to perform the service required by this act, and the court shall have power to make such allowance to the said Commissioners in any case as shall seem just, which allowance shall be taxed and collected as costs; and the said Commissioners shall state in their report to be made as aforesaid the time at which notice in either case shall have been received and by what means; provided, and be it further enacted, that this act shall not be extended to affect any suit already commenced for trespass on lands, and for rents and profits arising from lands nor shall it be construed to affect any contract between the seller and buyer of lands, or rights or land acquired after the passage of this act by purchase from the Commonwealth.
Sec. 6. And be it further enacted, that notice of any adverse claim or title to the land within the meaning of this act, shall have been given by bringing a suit either in law or equity for the same, or else by delivering a copy of the entry and survey on which such adverse claim is founded to the party in possession, or leaving the same with some free person at his or her place of abode on the land in all cases which shall relate to any who shall settle on land after the passage of this act. But in cases affecting parties who shall have settled before the passage of this act, any actual notice proved to have been received by the party in possession of an adverse claim shall be deemed sufficient.
Sec. 7. And that no doubt may arise about the kind of improvements which shall be valued by virtue of this act; Be it further enacted, that valuable, necessary and lasting improvements within the meaning of this act, shall be lands cleared and inclosed, orchards, dwelling houses, necessary out houses and barns and no others; and those to be valued according to their kind, materials and other circumstances, provided nevertheless, and be it further enacted, that in no case shall the proprietor of the better title be obliged to pay to the evicted occupant for improvements made after notice, more than one half the value of the land recovered, which shall also be viewed and assessed by the Commissioners aforesaid, exclusive of the improvements, and certified
to the court in manner and form aforesaid. And if any proprietor of the better title shall choose to relinquish his better title to the party in possession, he shall do it on record, in the court where the proceedings shall have been had in the first: whereupon the entry of the estimated value of the said land, shall have the force of a judgment, upon which any legal execution may issue after three months to be computed from the date of such relinquishment and judgment, provided that upon sufficient enquiry and bill filed an injunction may issue to stay such execution under at matter of equity can be heard.
Sec. 8. And be it further enacted, that notice to any occupying claimant shall bind all those claiming from by or through such occupying claimant to the extent of such claim; And if it shall appear to the Commissioners aforesaid that waste has been committed on the land by the unnecessary destruction of timber, or otherwise, it shall be the duty of the said Commissioners to state and report such waste to the court, who shall thereupon cause an issue to be made up and direct a writ of Enquiry and impanel a jury to try the issue or assess the damage, as the case may be, for such waste; Who shall return a verdict accordingly, the amount of which verdict shall be placed to the credit of the proprietor of the better title. And if upon finally adjusting all matters within the provisions of this act, between the evicted occupant and the successful claimant, the balance shall appear to be in favour of the latter, judgment shall be entered for such balance, upon which the party in whose favour it is shall have execution after three months from the date of said judgment.
This act shall commence and be in force from and after the passage thereof.

Approved December 4, 1794.
WHEREAS it is represented to the General Assembly, that many persons hold tracts of land subject to taxation, and are desirous of continuing their interest in only part thereof, and that others have claims to lands which they wish to relinquish without being subject to the expence of law suits.
Sec. 1. Therefore be it enacted by the General Assembly, that it shall be lawful for any person or persons, his her, or their agent or attorney, lawfully authorised so to do, to relinquish or disclaim his, her, or their title, interest, or claim, to and in, any tract or part of a tract of land that he, she, or they may think proper, by making an entry of the tract, or that part thereof so disclaimed with the surveyor of the county in which the land, or the greater part thereof shall lie, in a book to be by him kept for that purpose, which said entry shall describe the situation and boundary of the land disclaimed with certainty, and be signed by the party in the presence of the surveyor, who shall attest the same.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, that by virtue of the aforesaid entry and disclaimer all the interest of the party in the said tract shall be vested in this commonwealth, and shall never be reclaimed by the party his, her, or their representatives.

Approved December 17, 1794.
Sec. 1. BE it enacted, that the sheriffs in this state, whether chosen by the people, or appointed by the executive, and their deputies, shall be allowed to continue in office as collectors, until they have

And the former sheriffs shall also have power to collect all officers fees, put into their hands at any time before the passage of this law, and shall have authority in case of neglect or refusal of any person owing such fees to pay the same, to make distress on the goods or estate of the person refusing or neglecting; under the same rules and regulations as are now directed by law for distressing for such fees, and shall be subject to the same proceedings for failing or refusing to collect, or pay such fees, when collected, to the respective owners as the law now prescribes against sheriffs for the same neglect or refusal.
Provided however, that nothing herein contained shall be so construed as to give any sheriff, collectors or their deputies, more than three years, to be computed from the expiration of the term for which they were appointed, or elected, to make their collections, agreeable to this act.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, that no person who has heretofore been chosen, or appointed to the office of sheriff in any county, shall be eligible to said office in any other county, for the term of six years, from the date of his being chosen or appointed sheriff.
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, that in case of the death or absence of any delinquent sheriff, or collector, ten days notice given to the security or securities, or legal representatives of such deceased or absentee or either of them, previous to the day on which the motion is to be made in court, shall be sufficient for such court to grant judgment, for the amount of arrearages of taxes due from such delinquent sheriff or collector, against his security or securities, or legal representatives, or either of them, as if the notice had been given to such delinquent.
