of Annapolis, called King William's School, are seized, in their
incorporated and political Capacity, of a Parcel of Land in Dorches-

fifty Acres, devised to them in and by the last Will and Testament
of Thomas Smithson, late of Talbot County, Esq; deceased; which
Land brings in no annual Profit, but on the contrary, the Quit-Rent
of it arising due to the Lord Proprietary is an annual Charge: And

Houses and Lots in Annapolis, which Houses and Lots are upon
Leases, rendering some small Rent; yet such Rent is not equal to the
Interest of the Money, which the Rector and Visitors hope the said
