therein named.

[No. i.]

Whereas it is represented to this General Assembly, that the
Warehouses for Inspecting Tobacco, at Thomas Bruff's and Old-
Field Landing, and that of Philip Emerson's, on his Dwelling Plan-
tation in Talbot County (all at present under one and the same In-
spection), are so remote from each other, and the Quantities of
Tobacco brought into them so great, that the Office of Inspectors
for the said Houses cannot be duly executed.

Be it therefore Enacted by the Right Honourable the Lord Pro-
prietary, by and with the Advice and Consent of his Lordship's Gov-
ernor, and the Upper and Lower Houses of Assembly, and the Au-
thority of the same, That the Warehouses above-mentioned shall,
and are hereby deeclared to be under two separate and distinct In-
spections; and that the Warehouse at Thomas Bruff's Landing be
under one Inspection; and the Warehouses at Old Field Landing
and that of Philip Emerson's, at his Dwelling Plantation in Talbot
County, be under one Inspection; any Thing in the Act for amending
the Staple of Tobacco, for preventing Frauds in his Majesty's Cus-
toms, and for the Limitation of Officers Fees, or any other Act, to
the contrary in any wise notwithstanding.
