And whereas the Justices of Worcester County aforesaid, did
heretofore, on the Petition and Application of the Vestrymen and
Church- Wardens of the aforesaid Parish of All-hallows, assess and
levy on the taxable Inhabitants of the said Parish, a Quantity of
Tobacco, which was collected by the Sheriff of the said County, in
order to repair the Parish Church, but upon inspecting the same,
they found it so far decayed and gone to Ruin as to render a Repair
impracticable; by which means the Tobacco so as aforesaid assessed
and collected, still continues in the Sheriff's Hands unapplyed.
Be it therefore Enacted by and with the Advice and Consent
aforesaid, That the Sheriff of Worcester, in whose Hands the To-

|
bacco so as aforesaid levyed and collected shall be, shall pay the same
to the Vestrymen and Church- Wardens of All-hallows Parish afore-
said, or their Order, who are hereby impowered and directed to lay
out and apply the same towards building and compleating the said
new Church in All-hallows Parish aforesaid.

And be it further Enacted, That the Vestrymen and Church-
Wardens may, if they shall think proper, sell and dispose of, as well
the Tobacco by this Act intended to be raised, as also that heretofore
collected as aforesaid, for Money, in order to erect and build the
Church aforesaid, as by this Act it is before directed.
And whereas by an Act of Assembly, made at a Session of Assem-
bly begun and held at the City of Annapolis, the First Day of May,
Seventeen hundred forty and four, Entituled, An Act for dividing
All-hallows Parish in Worcester County, and for erecting a Parish
out of the same, called by the Name of Worcester-Parish, It is
enacted, That after the Death or Removal of the Reverend Patrick
Glasgow, the present Incumbent, the said Parish of All-hallows shall
be divided, and two Parishes established out of the same, and the
new one called Worcester- Parish, as by the said Act, reference being
thereto had, may more at large appear; and as the taxable Inhabi-
tants of that Part of All-hallows Parish, which will, when the Act
aforesaid shall take place, compose Worcester-Parish, have had
assessed and levied on them their porportionable Part of the afore-
said Quantity of Tobacco, heretofore intended and raised for the
Repair of the aforesaid Parish Church of All-hallows, and now lying
in the Sheriff of Worcester's Hands, as before it is mentioned, and
as they will further bear their porportionable Charge of the Tobacco
intended by this Act to be assessed and levied, for building the said
new Church in All-hallows Parish, and it being highly reasonable
they should be refunded and repaid, at the Division of the said
Parish, the Tobacco which they shall be burthened with by means
of this Act towards building the aforesaid Church of All-hallows ;

Be it therefore Enacted by the Authority, Advice and Consent
aforesaid, That on the Division of the said Parish of All-hallows,
which shall be made in Pursuance of the said recited Act, the Jus-
