WHEREAS, the legal duties of the surveyor of Queen Anne's
county, have become so diminished, that no person will accept
the said office, and it is believed that duties may be added
thereto, that will make it an office worth the attention of a
citizen capable of filling the same.

Preamble.

SEC. 1. Be it enacted, by the General Assembly of Maryland,

vey ; and to this end, it is hereby enacted, that all warrants,
writs and orders, under which lands are to be surveyed in the

all locations and surveys of land in the said county, that shall
be made in virtue of commissions, writs, and process from the
said courts, shall be made by the said county surveyor, whose
plots and certificates of such lands returned by him, shall be as
valid and effectual, as if the duty performed had originally
been a duty of his said office.
