Impositions, Fines, and Forfeitures, to be equal to the averaged
Rate of the four preceding Years Collection, and if it shall appear
by such Estimate that there will be a Deficiency, that is, that the
Sum of Five Thousand Nine Hundred and Eighty-four Pounds
Fourteen Shillings, will not, by the Ways and Means in this Act,
and the Acts herein mentioned to be continued, be replaced, and the
Sum of Thirty-four Thousand and Fifteen Pounds Six Shillings
paid in, in order to be sunk and destroyed as aforesaid, by the Expira-
tion of five Years from the twentieth Day of June next, then and in
such Case the said Commissioners, or the Majority of them, or the
Survivors of them, shall compute and ascertain what Rate, by Way
of additional Tax on Lands to be imposed in the same Manner with
the Land-Tax herein before imposed, will undoubtedly be sufficient
to make good such Deficiency as aforesaid, adding thereto the Sum
of Five Hundred Pounds: And the said Commissioners, who shall
ascertain the Rate of such additional Land-Tax, shall make out Cer-
tificates of such Rate, under their Hands and Seals, to the Collectors
of the Land-Tax of each respective County, and deliver the same by
the twentieth Day of August, Seventeen hundred and sixty, inclosed
and indorsed for his Lordship's Service, to the Sheriff of Anne-
Arundel County, or his Deputy, under the Penalty of One Hundred
Pounds Current Money on each Commissioner who shall ascertain
the Rate aforesaid, and whose Hand and Seal shall not be set and
affixed to such Certificate; to be recovered by Action of Debt, Bill,
Plaint, or Information, wherein no Essoin, Protection, or Wager of
Law, or more than one Imparlance, shall be allowed; one half thereof
to be paid to the Informer, or him, her, or them, that shall sue for
the same, the other half thereof to be paid to the Commissioners or
Trustees, for emitting Bills of Credit aforesaid, to be by them applied
to the replacing and sinking the Sums of Money granted by this Act.

tion, wherein no Essoin, Protection, or Wager of Law, or more than
