[EDITOR'S NOTE.—Although passed by the Assembly and signed
by the Governor, the above act received the dissent of the Lord Pro-
prietary, December 10, 1754, and became null and void. See Ap-
pendix page 642.]
No. 14 An Act impowering the Incumbent and Vestrymen of Saint Michaels
Parish in Talbot County and James Tilghman of the said County
and Ann his Wife to make an Exchange of certain Lands therein
mentioned.
Whereas the Parties aforesaid by their Humble Petition to this
present General Assembly have set forth that the said Incumbent
is seized as Incumbent of the said Parish of a Tract of Land called
Holden Addition which was Devised among other Lands for a
Glebe in the said Parish by Thomas Smithson Esquire deceased and
that the said James Tilghman and Ann his Wife are seized of a
Tract of Land called Fansley [Fausley] contiguous to the said Land
called Holden Addition That the dividing line of the said Lands
extends obliquely across the Creek called Fansley [Fausley] Creek in
such a manner that Parcel of the same Land called Holden Addition
less than fifteen Acres lyes on the North side of the said Creek next
the Lands and Plantation of the said James Tilghman so as to be use-
less to the said Glebe and a Parcel of the said Land called Fansley
[Fausley] less than fifteen Acres lying on the South side of the said
Creek next the said Glebe Lands is altogether useless to the said
James Tilghman, That of course an Exchange of the same parcels of
the said Tracts of Land would be convenient to the Incumbent for the
time being of the said Parish and to the said James Tilghman But
there being no Power of Aliening the said Glebe Land in any Person
and the said James Tilghman and Ann his Wife being Seized in Fee
Tail special of the said Land called Fansley [Fausley] and therefore
not having power to make an Effectual Conveyance of any part of the
said Land It is humbly prayed by the said Parties that an Act of As-
sembly may be made impowering the Incumbent of the said Parish
for the time being and the Vestrymen or the Major part of them and
the said James Tilghman and Ann his Wife to make an effectual p. 29
Exchange of such Parts of the same Tracts of Land and in such
Manner as to the same parties may seem meet and convenient.
