Chap. XV
|
An Act, for laying out the Town a-new, commonly called Chester
Town, in Kent County; and for ascertaining the Bounds thereof.
Whereas, formerly there was laid out in Kent County, on Chester
River, a Town, commonly called Chester Town, or New Town,
containing One Hundred Acres of Land; the Bounds whereof, are
very uncertain, and the Improvement very much hindered, by Reason
that all the Lots were not taken up and improved in Time.
