No. 8 An Act to Impower the Justices of Somerset County to Levy on the
Taxable Inhabitants of Somerset Parish in the said County the
Quantity of one hundred and forty four Thousand pounds of
Tobacco for the uses therein mentioned

Whereas the Rector Vestrymen and Sundry the Inhabitants of
Somerset Parish in Somerset County have by their humble Petition
to this General Assembly set forth that the Chapel of Ease in the
said Parish called Kings Mill Chapel is now much decayed and
in a little time will be dangerous for the Inhabitants to Attend
Divine Service therein and that the same is too small for the recep-
tion of the Congregation thereto adjacent and not so well situated
as might be and also that Monie Church in the said Parish is too
small for the Parishioners that attend at the same and have humbly
prayed that an Act may pass to enable the Rector Vestrymen and
Church Wardens of the said Parish to sell the Chapel aforesaid
and the parcell of land thereto belonging and to purchase a piece of

[Preamble]

Ground in Princess Anne Town whereon they may erect and Build
a Chapel and that Eight hundred pounds or the Value thereof in
Tobacco may be Levied on the Taxable Inhabitants of the said
Parish to be applied by the said Vestrymen and Church Wardens
for that purpose and also that the sum of One hundred pounds or
the Value thereof in Tobacco may be Levied in like manner for the
enlargement of Monie Church aforesaid and that the same might
be Levied by three equal Assessments
