No. 4 An Act for dividing of certain Warehouses in Kent County, therein
named.

Whereas, the Inhabitants of the lower Part of Kent County, by
their Petition, have represented to this General Assembly, that the
Warehouses for Inspecting Tobacco at Capt. Samuel Tovey's on
Grays-Inn Creek, and that on Langford's Bay, in the said County,
now under one Inspection, are at so great a Distance from each
other, as renders the Office of Inspectors at the said Warehouses
very inconvenient, and difficult to be duly executed; which is likely
to discourage Persons, well qualified to execute the said Office, from
acting, upon their Appointment thereto; and have prayed that an
Act may pass to put the said Warehouses under separate Inspections.

[Preamble.]

Be it therefore Enacted by the Right Honourable the Lord Pro-
prietary, by and with the Advice and Consent of his Lordship's
President, and the Upper and Lower Houses of Assembly, and the
Authority of the same, That from and after the ninth Day of
November next, the said Warehouses above-mentioned shall be

under two separate and distinct Inspections; and that the Warehouse

at Tovey's shall be under one Inspection; and the Warehouse on
Langford's Bay shall be under one Inspection; any Thing in the
Act for amending the Staple of Tobacco, for preventing Frauds in
his Majesty's Customs, and for the Limitation of Officers Fees, to
the contrary in any wise notwithstanding.

between the first and the tenth Days of September yearly, and every
Year during the Continuance of this Act, to meet together at their

Commander in Chief of this Province for the Time being, Four able
and sufficient Planters, well skilled in Tobacco, as Inspectors, for
each and every of the said Inspections, by this Act above established,

Chief, for the Time being, Certificates of such Nomination and
Recommendation, in the same Manner as in like Cases is required
and directed.
