CHAPTER 284.
A further SUPPLEMENT to the ACT, entitled, an Act relating to People of
Colour in this State.

Preamble.

WHEREAS, by the act passed at December session of the year
eighteen hundred and thirty-two, chapter two hundred and
ninety-six, deeds of manumission, defective in form in certain
particulars, or omitted to be recorded, are made valid : And
whereas, it appears that the provisions of said act do not include
certain cases of defective manumissions which are entitled to
the same consideration and protection ; therefore,

Manumis-
sion may
be recorded

Be it enacted^ by the General Assembly of Maryland, That
any deeds of manumission, executed and acknowledged before
a justice of the peace, but without being attested by two wit-
nesses, or any witness, and although not recorded, may, if exe-
cuted before the passage of the act of December session, of the
year eighteen hundred and thirty-one, chapter three hundred
and twenty-three, be recorded at any time before the first day of
October next, and when so recorded, shall have the same effect
as if the same had been duly executed and attested, and re-
corded in the time limited by law for recording deeds of manu-
mission.
