An ACT for the relief of Frederick Saler, of
Frederick county.
WHEREAS Frederick Saler, of Frederick county, has emigrated to, and
settled in, this state,
and since his emigration and settlement in this state hath acquired real
property therein, and
his title to such property, from his not having been naturalized before
such property was acquired
by him, may be called in question, to his great injury and detriment; therefore,
II. BE IT ENACTED, by the General Assembly
of Maryland, That the title to all the real property,
lawfully and fairly acquired by the said Frederick Saler, whether such
title be derived by grant, gift,
purchase or devise, be and the same is hereby as amply and as fully vested
in the said Frederick Saler,
to all intents and purposes, as if had been naturalized before his title
to such real property had
been acquired; provided always, that nothing in this act contained shall
in any manner defeat or
affect any right, title or claim, to the said property, or any part thereof,
acquired or prosecuted by any
person or persons whatever before the passage of this act; and provided
also, that unless the said Frederick
Saler shall, on or before the first day of June next, proceed according
to law to make himself a
citizen of the United States, this act shall have no effect to confirm
his title to the property above
mentioned, nor shall he, or any persons claiming under him, derive any
benefit under this act; but if
the said Frederick Saler shall die before the time when, by the laws of
the United States, he may
become a citizen thereof, nothing in this proviso contained shall prevent
him from transmitting or
transferring his said property by descent or devise to any issue he may
leave residing within the
United States, who is hereby declared capable in law to hold the same,
or to any other person, being
a citizen of the United States, and capable in law to hold the same. |

A Further supplement to an act, entitled, An act to streighten and
amend the public roads in Harford county, and for other
purposes.
WHEREAS the public road leading from Belle-Air to the city of Baltimore,
appointed to be
laid out by the original act to which this is a further supplement, has
been laid out, opened
and cleared, at a very considerable expence, form Belle-Air to the line
of Baltimore county, and
from the intersection with a road leading to the house of Harry Dorsey
Gough to the city of Baltimore,
and the intermediate part of said road lying between the said line of Baltimore
county and
the said point of intersection remains still to be opened, cleared and
completed, whereby the part
of the said road which has been completed in Harford county is rendered
totally useless: And whereas
doubts are entertained that the said intermediate part of said road cannot
be opened agreeably to
the plot thereof filed in the clerk's office in Baltimore county, unless
at a very heavy expence, and
over very bad ground, and it is alleged that the said intermediate
part of said road may be laid out
on better ground, and opened at a less expence, than opening the same agreeably
to the plot filed as
aforesaid; therefore,
II. BE IT ENACTED, by the General Assembly
of Maryland, That Daniel Bowley, William Dimmett,
senior, William Mackubin, John Patridge and Solomon Helm, or any three
of them, be and they
are hereby appointed commissioners of review, to lay out, survey, mark
and bound, the said intermediate
road lying between the line of Baltimore county and a branch called the
White Marsh
Branch, in such direction and over such ground as they, or any three of
them, shall in their discretion
judge best calculated and most proper for said road, and shall return
a plot thereof to the clerk's
office of Baltimore county, before the meeting of the next levy court thereafter,
to be there filed.
III. AND BE IT ENACTED, That the levy court
of Baltimore county be and they are hereby empowered
and directed, at their meeting next after the return of said plot, by warrant
under their
hands and seals, to appoint and empower an overseer or overseers to open
and clear the said road,
agreeably to said plot, in the same manner as other roads are by law directed
to be opened and cleared,
and the said overseers shall have the same allowance as other overseers. |
