| Short Summary: | Concluding that a creditor's failure to assert their rights and therefore creating a lapse of time make it reasonable for a third person to believe that debts are satisfied. Furthermore, that this lapse of time may be presumed from the passing of a final account with the Orphans' Court. Holding that the mortgagor's sale of slaves in this instance does not prejudice the creditors by lapse of time which assumes consent. |
