U.H.J.
Liber No. 46

To His Excellency Thomas Bladen Esq^r Governor of the Province
of Maryland; and the Honourable the Upper and Lower Houses
of Assembly of the said Province.

The humble Representation of Daniel Dulany Esq^r Commissary
General of the Province aforesaid, Sheweth That Application was
made this Day to the Register of the Commissary's Office, by Col.
Thomas White of Baltimore County, for the Copy of a will, which
was made (as he says) in the Year 1690, or 1691; under which the
said White and some others claim some Land. That upon searching
for the Copy of the said will, it could not be found; nor is there
any Book or Books, of Wills, for the Years 1690 and 1691, in the
Office, That the said Will, and many others, (as the said M^r White,
who was many Years Deputy Clerk of Baltimore County affirms)
are entered, or register'd in the said County.
That an Act of Assembly was made in the Year 1692, to aid De-
fects in Judicial Proceedings, which cannot by any Construction
reach M^r White's Case, or any of the like nature.
The said Commissary General therefore, conceiving it to be his
Duty to represent this matter to the Consideration of the Legisla-
ture (which he would have done sooner, if he had discovered it)
humbly submits, whether some provision ought not to be made for
securing the Rights of Purchasers under Wills, which may have
been entered on the County Court Records, altho' not register'd in
the office appointed by Law for that Purpose There are some other
Years, besides those above mentioned, wherein there are no Registry.
D. Dulany.
