§ This Act shall not extend to discharge any prisoner with respect to any debt due to His Majesty, or to any debt or penalty with which he shall stand charged at the suit of the Crown or any person for any offence committed against any Act or Acts relative to any branch of the public revenue, or at the suit of any sheriff or other public officer upon any bail bond entered into for the appearance of any person prosecuted for any such offence, unless the Treasury shall consent to such discharge.
§ Amendment made: Leave out the word "prisoner" ["to discharge any prisoner"] and insert instead thereof the word "person."
