Chapter VII

A supplementary Act to the Act entituled, An Act for laying out
the Town a-new commonly called Snow-hill Town, in Somerset
County.

Preamble

Whereas, by the Act entituled, An Act for laying out the Town
a-new commonly called Snow-hill Town, in Somerset County, the
Commissioners mentioned in the above recited Act, or the major
Part of them, were thereby required and impowered to nominate
and appoint some sufficient and skilful Person to be their Clerk, who
should make a fair Record and Entry of all the Proceedings of the
said Commissioners, in a sufficient Book to be provided for that
purpose, to whom the Surveyor should be obliged to deliver a fair
Plat of the said Lots to be surveyed as aforesaid, which Clerk, and
his Successors, should transmit to the Clerk of Somerset County,
the whole Proceedings of the said Commissioners, together with
the said Plat, to be lodged amongst the County Records, which Pro-
ceedings, the Clerk of Somerset County was, by the said recited Act,
obliged to take care of; And forasmuch as by the late Division of
the said County, the said Snow-hill Town is taken into Worcester
County, which would make it very inconvenient for the Owners and
Possessors of the Lots in the said Town, to resort to the Clerk of
Somerset County, in making the necessary Searches of the Proceed-
ings of the said Commissioners, should the Clerk of the said Town

Clerk of
Worcester

return the Proceedings of the said Commissioners, together with
the Record Book and Plat of the said Town, to the Clerk of Somer-
set County Court to be by him there kept.
Be it therefore Enacted, by the Right Honourable the Lord Pro-
prietary, by and with the Advice and Consent of his Lordship's Gov-
ernor, and the Upper and Lower Houses of Assembly, and the
Authority of the same, That the Clerk of the said Commissioners,
