to serve notice stating the facts set forth in said petition on Elizabeth
Pennell, and also to give public notice as aforesaid, to the legal
representatives of said Aaron Musgrave and Elisha Price in one of the
newspapers within said County agreeably to the Act of Assembly of
Pennsylvania in such case made and provided, requiring them to appear at
the next term of said Court and answer said petition, and to show cause if
any they have why this Court upon due proof being made shall not direct
satisfaction to be entered on the record of said mortgage by the Recorder
of Deeds of said County. Whereupon it is hereby ordered and declared that
the Sheriff of said County serve a notice stating the facts set forth in
said petition on the parties interested requiring them to appear at the
next term of this Court and answer said petition if they be found in said
County; and in case of all the parties aforesaid cannot be found in said
County, then the Sheriff shall give notice as aforesaid in the 'Delaware
County American,'a newspaper published in said County once a week for four
successive weeks prior to the fourth Monday of August next requiring said
parties to appear at said time to answer said petition. By the Court.
