An Act to enable the Justices of Charles County, to assess and levy
on the taxable Inhabitants of that Part of the late Rev. Mr. Don-
aldson's Parish, which lies in the said County, Fifty-five thousand
Pounds of Tobacco, and for other Purposes therein mentioned.

No. 9

Whereas the Vestrymen, Churchwardens, and other Inhabitants
of that Part of the late Reverend Mr. Donaldson's Parish, which
lies in Charles County, have by their humble Petition to this present
General Assembly set forth, that the Church which is now used by
the said People is so old and ruinous, that it would be misapplying
Tobacco to attempt to repair it; and also, that it is so situate as to be
very inconvenient to many of them: And have therefore prayed that
an Act may pass to enable them to raise a Quantity of Tobacco, not
exceeding fifty-five thousand Pounds of Tobacco, for the building a
new one, at such Place as the Majority of the Protestant Freeholders
of the said Parish may choose.

[Preamble.]

Be it therefore Enacted by the Right Honourable the Lord Pro-
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 the Justices of Charles County Court,

ered, on Application of the said Vestrymen, and Churchwardens,
at their laying their County Levy in November Court, in the several
Years Seventeen hundred fifty-one, Seventeen hundred fifty-two,
and Seventeen hundred and fifty-three, to assess and levy on the
taxable Inhabitants of the said Parish, in the County aforesaid, a
Quantity of Tobacco not exceeding fifty-five thousand Pounds of
Tobacco, together with the Sheriff's Salary of five per Cent for Col-
lection; which Tobacco, so by the said Sheriff received, shall be paid
