Upon Information to the Commissioners for the Sale of His
Lordship's Manors and Reserved Lands that a Person was in
Possession of part of Ann Arundel Manor Sold to One who
had Purchased under His Lordship's Commission and who
cou'd not enter into the same under his Purchase on Account
of the Obstruction given him by the Person first mentioned ;
the said Commissioners upon the opinion of the Attorney
General that the Step was expedient, directed their Clerk to

acquaint M^r Allen, the Agent, that it was proper He shou'd
make the Entry aforesaid, and upon the Clerk's informing the
said Commissioners that M^r Alien's answer to him, upon ac-
quainting Him with the Request of the Commissioners, was,
that it was the Business of the Attorney General to make the
Entry aforesaid, and that He shou'd not make the said Entry,
the Commissioners have laid the Premises before the Board
of Officers, for their Consideration, and further Direction.
Whereupon the opinion of the Board is, and so they advise;
that the Clerk do, without Loss of time, inform M^r Allen, that
it is their Opinion, and Direction to Him, that He do im-
mediately, in His Lordship's name, enter into the said Land, &
that M^r Allen, to prevent Mistake, be served with a Copy of
this Order.
