Whoever is imprisoned for the nonperformance of any order or judgment for the payment of money, or costs, by virtue of attachment, or other process, issued out of the Court of Chancery, having resided within the State for 1 year next before his or her imprisonment, may prefer to the Court of Chancery, held in the county wherein he or she is imprisoned, a petition of the same purport prescribed in § 7302 of this title.
