4 paoTEcTIoN AGAINST FRAUDS.
Mr.. B:ease's bill to require disin-
teresled witness to chattel mortgages
came up for consideration. Nh Blesse
said he was asked to introduce the bill.
He had seen chattel mortgages, said to
cover clock or machines, to cover the
COW or horse or chickens. Allie wauted
was to protect these poor people who
were imposed upon. There ought to
be some protection against these scoun-
drels who get al these mortgages. His
bill also required the recording OF the
chattei mortgage within ten days.
Representative Bolts, the only eolored
member, said he knew the wiles Of these
agents. The agreement should BE-
taken to some disinterested party to
read. He related how the agent Of an
Illinois firm went out in Georgetown
County and secured mortgages Tor
clocks and included mattresses, pillows
and everything in house. The bill
would save great dea! for his people
and begged that the bill be passed. The
bill was then ordered to its third read
ing as follows:
Section l. That all persons who take
bills Of sale and chsttel mortgages to
secure the payment for their goods,
wares or merchandise be, and they are
he1coy, required to have one disinter-
ested witness thereto who can read and
write, and before the execution of such
bills of sale or chattel mortgages the
same shall be read to the party or par
ties signing the said bills Of sale and
chattel mortgages; and to have the same
recorded within thirty days.
Section 2 That any such bill Of sale
or chattel mortgage. the execution Of
which does not comply with the provis-
ions Of this Act, shall be null aud void,
and of 10 effect.
