And whereas the House at King's-Town in Talbot County, be-
longing to William Wilson, was by an Act made in May, Seventeen
hundred and forty-eight, directed to be used for storing inspected
Tobacco; and accordingly hath been taken, laid out, and appropri-
ated for that Purpose; but as the Proprietor of the said House is
in no Sort burthened with the Charge of Prizes, Posts, Wharff, or
Crane; Be it Enacted and Declared, That the Owner of the said
Wilson's House be paid but one third Part of the twelve Pence per
Hogshead, which shall arise due on all the Tobacco delivered out
of the said two Houses of William Wilson and William Gale; and
that the Proprietor of the latter House be intitled to receive the
other two Thirds of the said twelve Pence per Hogshead.

[Pember-
ton's and
Choptank
Bridge
Houses to
be under
separate
Inspections.]

And whereas it is represented to this present General Assembly,
that the Distance between Grundy Pemberton's House at Tuckahoe
Bridge, and the House now erected at Choptank Bridge, is at least
ten Miles; and that the Difficulty of attending at two Houses so
remote from each other, hath hitherto discouraged any Persons
who have been chosen Inspectors, and appointed, from accepting of
the said Office: Be it therefore Enacted and Declared by the Au-
thority aforesaid, That Pemberton's Houses, and Choptank Bridge
House, be separate; and that the Inspectors at Pemberton's be al-
lowed the annual Salary of forty-five Pounds Current Money, and
no more, to each Inspector; and the Inspectors at Choptank Bridge
House be allowed the Sum of thirty-five Pounds to each Inspector
yearly: And that the respective Vestries of the Parishes wherein
the Houses aforesaid stand, as soon as may be, after the End of
this Session, proceed to the Election of Inspectors for the said
Houses, as by former Laws they are directed.

And be it likewise Enacted, That from and after the End of this
Session of Assembly, there shall be an additional Allowance of the
Sum of five Pounds Current Money, per Annum, to each Inspector,

over and above the Allowance heretofore made them by any former

the contrary notwithstanding.

And be it likewise Enacted, That the Salary to the Inspectors at

from and after the End of this Session of Assembly, shall be, and is
hereby declared to be reduced to thirty Pounds per Annum to each
