rity of them, be and they are hereby authorised to propose a scheme of a lottery for raising a sum of

and authority to appoint, on such terms as to them may seem expedient, one or more agent or agents

gations, under the direction of the managers aforesaid, or a majority of them.
IV. AND BE IT ENACTED, That no manager or managers shall sell or dispose of any ticket or

ditioned that they will well and truly conduct the drawing of said lottery, and apply the money
arising therefrom, within six months after the drawing thereof, to the payment of the prizes drawn
therein to the adventures to whom they shall be due, and the necessary expenses incurred in the
management thereof, and the residue to the repairing of the said church, and such other purposes
for the benefit of said congregation, as shall be directed by a majority of the aforesaid managers.
V. AND BE IT ENACTED, That the said bond shall be lodged in the office of the clerk of Harford
