said Acts were to be continued in full Force; the Expiration of the said
Laws notwithstanding.  Provided, That such prosecution be commenced
within the Time limited by the said Laws.

    CXXIII.  And whereas the Warehouse appointed by this Act to be at the
Head of a Creek, commonly called Watkins's Creek, issuing out of West
River, on the Land of Thomas Sprigg, in Anne-Arundel County, happens to
be so situated, as that it stands in the outermost Bounds of Allhallows Parish,
next adjoining to St. James's Parish, wherein Pig-Point Warehouse stands,
and as those Two Warehouses are, by this Act, to be under one and the same
Inspection, and that there are Two other Warehouses already fixed in t he said
Allhallows Parish, it is thought reasonable by this General Assembly, that the
Vestry-men and Church-wardens of only One of the said Parishes, should
nominate and recommend, as by this Act is before directed, the Two Inspectors
to be appointed to attend the said Warehouses on Sprigg's Land, and Pig-Point
aforesaid:  Be it therefore Enacted, That the Vestry-men and Church-wardens
of St. James's Parish, for the Time being, shall be, and they are
hereby impowered, to nominate and recommend Four able and sufficient
Planters, well skilled in Tobacco, for the Execution of the Office of Inspectors,
Two of which Persons, so nominated and recommended, shall be appointed
Inspectors for the Warehouses last mentioned; any thing in this Act
to the contrary notwithstanding.

    CXXIV.  And whereas Two Warehouses are by this Act established at
Kingston, in Talbot County, one on the Lot of William Gale, the other on the
Lot of William Wilson, and forasmuch as it is the Intention of this Act, that
the said House on Wilson's Lot should be used for Storing Tobacco only, and
the Owner thereof not burthened with the Expence of keeping Prizes for his
said House, or a Wharf and a Crane, at his Landing:  Be it therefore Enacted
and Declared, That One Third Part only of the Six Pounds of
Tobacco per Hogshead, due for Rent on all Tobacco delivered out of the
said Two Warehouses, shall be paid to the Owner of the House on William
Wilson's lot, and the remaining two Thirds to the Owner of the House on
William Gale's Lot.

    CXXV.  And be it further Enacted, That no Deputy-Commissary within
this Province, shall exact, extort, demand, take, accept, or receive, from
any Person whatsoever, any Fee or Fees, Gratuity, Gift, or Reward, for
giving his Advice in any Matter or Thing relative to his Office, or for procuring
a Commission from the Commissary-General to pass any Account
before him.

    CXXVI.  And be it further Enacted, That no Deputy-Commissary shall
exact, demand, take, or receive, any other Fee or Reward for drawing and
stating all Accounts, than the Sum of One Pound and an Half of Tobacco
for each Voucher produced and allowed in such Accounts, and no more.

    CXXVII.  And be it also further Enacted, That no Deputy-Commissary,
shall charge more than the Sum of Fifty Pounds of Tobacco for passing the
first Account of every Pauper Estate; or demand, exact or receive, any Fee
or Reward, for passing any additional Account thereof.

    CXXVIII.  And be it further Enacted, That in case any Security hath
been, or shall be taken, for the Payment of any Tobacco Debt contracted, or
that became due before the Fifteenth Day of May, One Thousand Seven Hundred
and Forty Seven, to be paid in inspected Tobacco, such Tobacco so secured
to be paid as aforesaid, shall be liable and subject to an Abatement or
Deduction of One Fourth Part. And if any Person or Persons shall be sued
on any such Security, the Plaintiff shall or may, be examined and interrogated
