that County, a Sum of Money for the Uses therein mentioned.

No. 7

Whereas, the Rector, Vestrymen, and Churchwardens, and other
Inhabitants of St. George's Parish in Baltimore County, have, by
their humble Petition to this present General Assembly, set forth,
that the Parish aforesaid hath a large Number of Taxables, and is
likely to increase as much as any Parish in the said County; and that
the said Parish is so large, as to render it impossible for many of
the Parishioners to attend the Parish Church; which Parish Church
is so ruinous and decayed, and not sufficiently large to contain one
half the Congregation; and that the said Church is not worth repair-
ing, nor is the Land whereon the same is built, appropriated And
thereby humbly prayed that it might be Enacted :

[Preamble.]

Baltimore County Court for the Time being, at the laying their
Levy, to assess on the taxable Inhabitants of St. George's Parish
aforesaid, a Sum of Current Money not exceeding the Sum of

ment thereof to begin and be made at the November Court now next

sively, until the same shall be compleated.
