prietary, by and with the Advice and Consent of his Lordship's
Governor, and the Upper and Lower Houses of Assembly, and the
Authority of the same, That it shall and may be lawful to and for
the Justices of Baltimore County Court, for the Time being, and
they are hereby authorized, impowered, and required, on their lay-
ing their County Levy in November Court, in the Years Seventeen
hundred and forty-nine, and Seventeen hundred and fifty, to assess
and levy on the taxable Inhabitants of the said County, by two equal
