Liber B. L. C.
No. 15

An Act to enable the Vestrymen and Churchwardens of King and
Queen Parish in St. Mary's County, for the Time being, to sell
a certain Tract of Land therein mentioned; and to apply the Pro-
duce Money or Tobacco, arising by such Sale, towards the Pur-
chase of another Piece of Land to be made a Glebe, for the Use
of the Incumbent of that Parish and his Successors.

[Preamble.]

Whereas the Vestrymen, Churchwardens, and several Parishion-
ers of King and Queen Parish in St. Mary's County, by their humble
Petition to this present General Assembly, have set forth, that they,
in Right of the Parish, are seized of a Parcel of Land, bought for
one hundred Acres, but containing, on surveying it, only seventy
Acres; on which there are no Buildings, or even Firewood, whereby
it is wholly useless to the said Parish: They therefore pray that an
Act may pass, to enable them to sell the said Land, and to apply the
Produce Money arising by such Sale, towards the Purchase of
another Piece of Land, to be made a Glebe, for the Use of the In-
cumbent of that Parish and his Successors; which being by this
present General Assembly thought reasonable, it is prayed that it
may be Enacted :

[Land to be
purchased
for a Glebe,
with the
Money aris-
ing from
the Sale of
the Land
first
mentioned.]

And be it Enacted by the Right Honourable the Lord Proprie-
tary, by and with the Advice and Consent of his Lordship's Gover-
nor, and the Upper and Lower Houses of Assembly, and the Au-
thority of the same, That the Vestrymen and Churchwardens of
King and Queen Parish in St. Mary's County, for the Time being,
or the major Part of them, be, and are hereby authorized and im-
powered to sell and dispose of, for the greatest Price they can get,
the aforesaid Tract of Land; and the Produce Money or Tobacco
arising by such Sale, to apply towards the Purchase of another Piece
of Land, lying in King and Queen Parish in St. Mary's County:
And that such other Land, when so purchased, shall be made over
to the Vestrymen and Churchwardens aforesaid, or the major Part
of them, in Trust, and for the Use and Benefit of the Minister or
Incumbent of said Parish for the Time being, and to his Successors,
Ministers or Incumbents of said Parish, for ever.
