Sum of Eight hundred Pounds hath been assessed and levied, on
the taxable Inhabitants of the said King George's Parish, for the
Building aforesaid, and the Vestrymen and Church-Wardens have
proceeded to build a Chapel accordingly, on a Tract of Land com-
monly called Egerton's Manor, belonging to the Heirs of George

nour, and the Upper and Lower Houses of Assembly, and the Au-
thority of the same, That the Justices of Prince George's County,
