No. 7

An Act for selling the Land whereon the Free-School in St. Mary's
County stood, and for Re-building the said School-House.

Liber H. S.

Whereas the Visitors of the School by Law established, in St.
Mary's County, by their humble Petition to this present General
Assembly, have represented, That the School-House by Law estab-
lished, hath lately been unfortunately destroyed by Fire, and that it
stood in an inconvenient Place in the said County; that a Master

[Preamble.]

duly qualified for such School could not gain a sufficient Mainte-
nance, by Means of the inconvenient Situation of the said School-
House; that if the Land whereon the said School-House stood was
to be sold, and the Money arising by such Sale was to be applied
towards building a new One in a more convenient Place, in the said
County, it would better answer the Conveniency of the major Part
of the People in the said County, and consequently the End and
Design of County Schools, by Law established: It is therefore, by
the said Petition, prayed that it may be enacted.
