No. 9

An Act relating to that Part of King and Queen Parish which lyes
in Charles County, and was lately severed by the Death of the
Reverend Mr. John Donaldson.

[Preamble.]

Whereas by an Act of Assembly lately passed at a Session of
Assembly begun and held at the City of Annapolis, the First Day
of May, Seventeen hundred and forty four, it was among other
Things enacted, " That the County of St. Mary's should be divided
into four Parishes, to become such on the Death or Removal of the
then several Incumbents: " And whereas at that Time a Part of
Charles County was held as Part of King and Queen Parish, and the
whole enjoyed by the said Mr. Donaldson; and it was also thereby
enacted, That after the Death or Removal of the said Mr. Donald-
son, and the Reverend Mr. Urquhart, the then present Minister of
All-Faith Parish, then lying in said St. Mary's and Charles Coun-
ties, those Parts of the said two Parishes should become one, and
called by the Name of Trinity Parish: And whereas the said Mr.
Donaldson is lately dead, living the said Mr. Urquhart, whereby
that Part of Charles County, which was in King and Queen, is at
present without the Bounds of any Parish, and hath not any Vestry-
men or Church-Wardens, altho' there is by Law a Warehouse estab-
lished to be therein. And forasmuch as many of the principal In-
habitants of that Part of Charles County which was lately in King
and Queen Parish, have, by their humble Petition to this General
Assembly, set forth the before mentioned Facts, and prayed that an
Act might pass to enable them to choose Vestrymen and Church-
Wardens for the due Execution of the Inspection-Law, and other
Parish Purposes, which is thought reasonable to be granted :
