SAMUEL OGLE, Esq; Governor.

Choptank Indians, in view of keeping them in Peace and Amity with the Inhabitants

paid by the Public for a Tract of Land called Indian Neck, containing Six
Hundred Acres, included in the Survey of the said Tract called Darby, and
that there remains no more of the said Tract called Darby, exclusive of the
said Six Hundred Acres and Water, than Two Thousand and Thirty-two
Acres, which said Two Thousand and Thirty-two Acres, are Bounded as
follows, viz.  Beginning at a Point of Marsh, being the uppermost Bound of
a tract of land laid out for Jerome White, esq; and running up the River,

Mouth of the said Creek, at the distance of Six Hundred and Forty Perches,
ran on the said South East Line, thence South West Seven Hundred and
Fifty perches, till it intersect a South East Line drawn from the place of
Beginning, and with that Line to the said Beginning, containing Two Thousand
and Thirty-two Acres of Land, exclusive of Indian Neck, for which no
Satisfaction o Compensation appears ever to have been made to those who
have the Estate of the said henry Sewall.  And for that it is agreeable to natural
Equity and Justice, that the Public should make Satisfaction for the
said Land, whereof the Owner was Divested for the Public Safety;

    III.  Be it therefore Enacted, by  the Right Honourable the Lord Proprietary,
by and with the Advice and Consent of his Lordship's Governor, and the Upper

and Lower Houses of Assembly, and the Authority of the same, That the said
Charles Sewall, his Executors, Administrators or Assigns, shall be paid the
Sum of Six Hundred and Ten Pounds Current Money of this Province, to
be Paid with all convenient Speed by the Commissioners or Trustees for Emitting
the Bills of Credit, to the said Charles Sewall, his Executors, Administrators
or ASsigns, and re-paid to the said Commissioners or Trustees, by the
Treasurers of this Province, out of the Public Stock thereof, so soon as they
shall have the same in their Hands, after the Payments already directed by any
Act of Assembly heretofore made, shall have been made, in full Satisfaction
and Compensation for the said Two Thousand and Thirty-two Acres of
Land; which same Money, so to be Paid, shall be subject to such Disposition
and Application as the said Nicholas Sewall hath Directed and Appointed by
his Last Will and Testament.

    IV.  And be it further Enacted, by  the Authority aforesaid, That when the
Indians, commonly called the Abacoes, Hutsawaps, and Tequassimoes, for whose
Use the said Land was settled and taken from the Owner thereof, shall totally
Leave and Desert the same, that the same Land shall be Sold and Disposed of
by Commissioners or Trustees to be appointed by the Assembly, and that the
Money arising by the Sale thereof, shall be applied to Reimburse the Public
the Money directed by this Act to be Paid to the said Charles Sewall.

    V.  And be it further Enacted, by  the Authority, Advice and Consent aforesaid, 
That when the said Indians, commonly called the Abacoes, Hutsawaps,
and Tequassimoes as aforesaid, for whose Use the said land called Indian Neck,
was settled and take from the Owner thereof, shall totally Leave and Desert
the same, that the same Land shall be Sold and Disposed of by Commissioners
or Trustees to be appointed by the Assembly, and that the Money arising by
the Sale thereof shall be applied to Reimburse the public, what was Paid by
the public to the said Nicholas Sewall.

    VI.  Saving to his most Sacred Majesty, his Heirs and Successors, the
Right Honourable the Lord Proprietary, his Heirs and Successors, and all
Bodies Politic and Corporate, and all others not mentioned in this Act, their
several and respective Rights.
                        Examined and Compared with the Original Act, REVERDY GHISELIN,
