receive the said Tobacco from the several Persons charged there-
with, and if need be to execute for the same, and the same, when
so received, to apply to the Credit of the Order of the said Justices.
And whereas by an Act passed this Session, Frederick County is
taken out of Prince George's County, and it is thought reasonable
by this present General Assembly, that the Persons who have paid,
or may pay, the said Eight Pounds of Tobacco per Head, for the
Purpose for which it was assessed, should be reimbursed the same ;
Be it therefore Enacted, That it shall and may be lawful for the
said Justices of Prince George's County Court, and they are hereby
required at the next laying of their County Levy, to assess and raise
as much Tobacco, over and above the aforesaid Fifty four thousand
Pounds of Tobacco, and the Sheriff's Salary, as will make up the

Quantity of Tobacco the said Persons, now residing in Frederick
County, have paid; and the same Tobacco, when so levied and
raised, the Sheriff of Prince George's County is hereby directed and
required to pay to the Order of the Magistrates of Frederick County
aforesaid, to be by them applyed for defraying the County Charge
of the said Frederick County.

paid in
Current
Money.]

And be it further Enacted, That it shall and may be lawful for the
Tobacco above-mentioned to be levied and assessed, to be discharged
in Current Money, as the Public and County Levy now is or may
be discharged.
And whereas an Act passed this Session for the Division of Prince
George's County, and making a new County out of the same, by the
Name of Frederick County, there is no Provision made for the Col-
lection of the Public and County Levy, for the Year Seventeen
hundred forty and nine ;

[Sheriff of

County shall and may collect and receive the Public and County
Levies, and other Dues and Officers Fees (which he was impowered
to do before the making of this Act) at any Time before the last
Day of June, which shall be in the Year, Seventeen hundred forty
and nine, in such Manner and Form, by Execution or otherwise, as
the Case shall require, as if the said new County, called Frederick
County, had not been erected: Any Law, Statute, Usage or Custom
to the Contrary in any wise notwithstanding.
