ART. 92.] SURVEYOR. 615

8. The Surveyors of the several counties and the city of Balti-
more shall insert in every certificate of survey or re-survey re-
turned to the Land Office, the course and distance of the given
or closing line in every survey or re-survey.

9. In returning certificates to the Land Office, the surveyor
shall state the quantity and quality of the improvements on the
land included in the survey or re-survey and subject to the
operation of the warrant, with his opinion of the value of the same.

10. No warrant of re-survey issued from any of the courts
of this State shall be executed until after ten days' notice to the
parties in the cause, or their counsel of record, unless a different
time of notice shall be prescribed by rale or order of the court
issuing such warrant, or unless notice be waived or agreed upon
by the parties.

11. When warrants of escheat shall be delivered to a surveyor
to execute, in order to survey lands held in tenancy in common,
and the part only of one or more of the said tenants in common
hath become liable to escheat, the surveyor shall cause the whole
of the said land so held in common to be surveyed, and a certifi-
cate thereof returned to the Land Office, specifying the value of
the whole tract of land and improvements thereon, and after the
examination of the said certificate and payment to the Treasurer
of two-thirds of the value of the escheatable part of the land
therein expressed, a patent shall issue in due time to the party
in whose name the said certificate may be returned, or his heirs
or assigns, for the undivided portion of the land that may be
liable to escheat.

12. If any warrant for surveying or re-surveying land shall
issue, and the same shall be executed by a deputy of the sur-
veyor authorized to execute the same, and before a certificate
of the survey or re-survey shall be made out and signed by the
said surveyor, he shall die, the said deputy may, within six
months after such death, make out and sign a plot and special
certificate stating the circumstances of the case, with an affidavit
of the truth thereof annexed or endorsed, and the said certificate
shall be as good and effectual as if made out and signed by the
said surveyor; and if any amendment or correction of the said
plot or certificate shall be necessary, the amendment or correction
shall be made by the said deputy, or such other person as the
Commissioner of the Land Office shall think proper.
