| Preamble. |
WHEREAS the vestry of Saint Paul's parish, in Baltimore
county, by their humble petition to this general assembly,
have set forth, that there is no ground belonging to the said
parish, convenient to build a house on for the residence of the minister
of the parish church thereof, and that John Eager Howard, Esquire, hath
offered to give a piece of ground for that purpose, adjoining the town
of
Baltimore, containing one half acre and twenty-eight square perches of
land, being part of a tract of land called Lun's Lot, and to convey the
same
to the said vestry, and their successors, for ever, for the purpose
of erecting
a parsonage thereon, for the use and benefit of the minister of the said
church for the time being, provided the leave of the legislature of this
state
be obtained for that purpose, agreeably to the constitution and form of
government; and this general assembly, desirous of promoting the laudable
and pious purposes of the petitioners, have granted leave accordingly. |
