WHEREAS, by the creation of Carroll county out of a part of
Baltimore and Frederick counties, the assessable property of
Baltimore county has been reduced ; And whereas, by an act
passed at December session, eighteen hundred and thirty-one,
chapter two hundred and eighty-one, the commissioners of
Baltimore county were required to levy upon the assessable
property of said county twelve hundred and ninety-seven dol-
lars and eighty-six cents to carry into effect the provisions of
the act, entitled, an act relating to the people of colour in this
state, and it being just and right that the part levied upon Bal-
timore county for the purpose aforesaid, should be reduced in
proportion to the reduction of the assessable property of the
county by the erection of Carroll county aforesaid ; And
whereas, the commissioners of Baltimore county, has paid over
to the treasurer of the western shore for eighteen hundred and
thirty-seven, the whole amount of twelve hundred and ninety-
seven dollars and eighty-six cents, instead of one thousand and
seventy-five dollars, which is the sum now paid by Baltimore
county since a portion of her territory has been reduced in
Carroll county ; therefore, it is right and proper that Carroll
county should refund to Baltimore county the sum of two hun-
dred and twenty-two dollars and eighty-six cents ; therefore,
