it Enacted, That if any Warehouse in this Province, shall be hereafter Burnt,
and it can be made appear to have happened by the Negligence of the Inspector
or Inspectors belonging to such Warehouse, such Inspector or Inspectors
shall forfeit and pay Sixteen Thousand Pounds of Tobacco each, to be recovered
and applied as aforesaid.

    CXLVIII.  And whereas no Land has ever been yet surveyed or laid out,
at the late Emerson's, now Maxwell's Warehouse, in Talbot County, for the

    CL.  And whereas it is represented to this General Assembly, that there are
in divers Warehouses in this Province, several Hogsheads of old Tobacco remaining
in the Way of the Inspectors, and have been lying there for many
Years past, and no Owners appear to claim the same:  To remedy which Inconvenience
