N.^o 9 An Act for impowering the Justices of Queen Anns and Talbot
Counties to Assess the Taxable Inhabitants of Saint Pauls Parish
in the said Counties the sums of Tobacco therein mentioned for
building a Church and repairing the Chapel in the said Parish.

Whereas the Rector Vestrymen and Church Wardens of Saint
Pauls Parish lying partly in Queen Anns and partly in Talbot County
have by Petition to this General Assembly represented that by Non
attendance of the Clerk of Talbot County at his Office on a
day appointed by Law for his Attendance the Assessments directed
by an Act entituled a Supplementary Act to the Act entituled an
Act for laying out anew and settling and ascertaining the future
Bounds and Limits of Saint Lukes Christ Church and Saint Johns
Parishes in Queen Anns County and of Saint Pauls Parish lying
partly in Queen Anns and partly in Talbot County could not be made
so that the Design of the said Supplementary Act is entirely defeated
and the Parish in general and the Rector Vestrymen and Church
Wardens in Particular Subjected to great Inconveniences and prayed
that an Act may now pass to impower the Justices of Talbot and
Queen Anns Counties to assess at the three next ensueing November
Courts on the said Taxable Inhabitants the Several Sums of Tobacco
which were to have been Assessed by the said Supplementary Act.
