No. 8 An Act impowering the Justices of Somerset County to levy, not
exceeding Twenty Thousand Pounds of Tobacco, upon the Tax-
able Inhabitants of the said County, for the Use therein mentioned.
Whereas, it is represented to the present General Assembly, that

the Ferry of Vienna, upon the River Nanticoke, is a very public and
convenient Passage for the Inhabitants of the said County, and all
other Travellers, and would be an Ease and Benefit to his Majesty's
Subjects, who have Occasion to pass and repass that Way, were it
not prevented by the Road of Causeway, as it now is leading through
the Marsh, commonly called Vienna-Marsh, in Somerset County,
being unpassable with any Safety, much less Conveniency: And
forasmuch as the Road, or Causeway, through the same Marsh is
of great length, and too burthensome upon the Inhabitants of the said
County adjacent thereto, to make good the said Road or Causeway
without Assistance,

[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 trie
Authority of the same, That it shall and may be lawful, and the
Justices of the County Court of Somerset are hereby authorized,
impowered, and required, at the next November Court, to be held
for that County, to levy on the taxable Inhabitants of the same
County, a Quantity not exceeding Twenty Thousand Pounds of
