§ 136. Creditor may notify debtor to apply for discharge. Where a
person has been imprisoned by virtue of an execution, for the space of
three months after he was entitled, by the provisions of this article,
to apply for a discharge; and has neither made such an application, nor
applied for his discharge under the provisions of article third of this
chapter; the judgment creditor, by virtue of whose execution he is
imprisoned, may serve upon the prisoner a written notice, requiring him
to apply for his discharge, according to the provisions of this article.
