Hello,
I am processing some "Executions Against Property" and have come
across an "Execution Against Person" dated 1868. It is my understanding
that Debtors Prison, as such was outlawed on the Federal level around 1833.
Can anyone give me any information on the NYS law about debtors
during the early to mid nineteenth century? Recommend any publications?
Thanks,
