openly within the/this state

is in the difference between how they are presenting themselves and what they really are.

They may appear as being based / registered elsewhere, as operating mainly elsewhere, as being just mere "passing visitors" in that State, doing just some occasional business there, while in fact their real operations are all within that State, and everything out if it is no more than a shell / a facade (to put themselves in a more favorable jurisdiction, or for some other reasons, like making themselves more difficult to get hold of ...)

The question isn't mine, I was just one of few people brainstorming over this

here are some ideas put forward in the discussion area;

a) person/entity living within the state borders
b) person/entity doing business within the state borders
c) person/entity licensed/registered to do business within the state borders

the answer that was provided, leans toward interpretation of "openly" as "the other open cases" related to the first/original case on the docket .... or so it seems ...

The text dates from the 1830s, and seems to have been copied by several states. I'm not at all clear why they included this proviso, but I think you have to take it at face value, which is "not in hiding".

I can't read your Polish question. Has it come up with any useful insights?
