The Humble Address of the House of Delegates
May it please Your Excellency,
We having taken into Consideration the Affair of the Land,
whereon the House designed for the Residence of the Governor,
for the Time being, is Building, granted by the Lord Proprietary
to Thomas Bordley Esq^r and by him Devised in ffee to his son
Stephen; do agree, That in order to extinguish all Claims and pre-
tensions whatsoever, your Excellency should pay Two Hundred
pounds the price agreed upon, to the same Stephen, for ffour Acres
of the same Land, to be Surveyed and laid out by the Surveyor of
Ann Arundell County, for the time being; and Butted and Bounded
by good Locust Posts, or large Stones, at each Corner; and take
his Deed of Bargain and Sale for the same, so Butted and Bounded,
expressing the Consideration paid, and the same Metes and Bounds,
in your Excellency's Name, for the use of the Public of Maryland ;
in which Deed we are contented, that no other Clause or Warranty
be inserted, except against the same Stephen, his Heirs and all per-
sons claiming under him. Upon the Execution of which Deed, we
apprehend the Right of the same Land will be sufficiently Secured
to the public, by virtue of an Act of Assembly of last Sessions, and
sundry other Acts made before that Time
