SEC. 3. And whereas, by the fourth section of the said recited
act it is provided in effect, that all causes, process and plead-
ings, which should be depending in Frederick county court,
and Baltimore county coutt, at the time of the confirmation of
said act, should and might be prosecuted as effectually in the
court in which the same should be depending, as if the said act
had not been made, and doubts are entertained by some whether
the sheriff of Frederick county, and the sheriff of Baltimore
county, respectively, can execute writs of attachment, sub-
poenas and other process, which may be issued in the progress
of such causes, and it being desirable to preclude all such
doubts by legislative enactment; therefore,
