Acts. 91

in Fee-simple, to Two Acres of Land therein mentioned: But for-

whereby the said Vestry can ascertain or settle the Bounds thereof.
For Remedy whereof, it is prayed that it may be Enacted,
And be it Enacted, by the Right Honourable the Lord Proprie-
tary, by and with the Advice and Consent of his Lordship's Gover-
nour, and the Upper and Lower Houses of Assembly, and the Au-
thority of the same, That the Bounds of the said Two Acres of
Land appropriated to the said Chapel at Vienna, in the Parish
aforesaid, shall be and are hereby deemed and declared to be as
follows, (that is to say,) Beginning at the North-East Corner of
the said Chapel, and running thence East to Lieutenant Colonel
William Ennall's Ditch; thence South, binding with the said Ditch
Nine Perches; thence West, Twenty Perches; thence North, Six-

scribing the same, should be settled and perpetuated,
Be it Enacted, by the Authority aforesaid, by and with the Ad-
vice and Consent aforesaid, That the Vestry of the said Parish are

Chap. X

ruinous and decayed, that the Charge of repairing it will be almost
as considerable as the Building a new One. It is therefore humbly
prayed that it may be Enacted,
And be it Enacted, by the Right Honourable the Lord Proprie-
tary, by and with the Advice and Consent of his Lordship's Gover-
nour, and the Upper and Lower Houses of Assembly, and the Au-
