Preamble.

CHAPTER 66.

A further additional supplement to an act entitled, "An act for the erec-
tion of a new Market-House in Hager's-Town, in Washington
county, and for other purposes.''
Whereas, By authority of an act passed by the general assem-
bly of Maryland, at December session eighteen hundred and nine-
teen, chapter 185, commissioners were appointed, who have, agree-
ably to the directions of said act, selected and purchased as a site
for a Market-house in Hager's-town, from Barnhard Lowman,
Frederick Bell and Peter Bell, lot number seven in said town; and
the moderator and commissioners of Hager's-Town believing that
said lot contains more ground than is necessary for said market-
house, and being desirous to sell a part thereof, and to appropriate
the money thence arising to the erection of said market-house; and
being doubtful whether they have any authority to sell and convey
by deed any part of said lot, or whether a deed executed to them
from said Barnhard Lowman, Frederick Bell and Peter Bell, would
be valid in law—Therefore,
