ART. 15.] BOUNDING LANDS. 69

where convenient, and shall mark, or set up boundaries, at the
termination of the lines, when course and distance only are
given, according to their adjudication and adjustment of the
location thereof, and shall return a plat and certificate of such
marked lines and boundaries to the court under their hands,
which return shall be received and recorded in the record of
land commissions and returns of such court, unless the court
shall otherwise order because of the misconduct of the commis-
sioners.

15. If no suit or action shall be brought within five years next
after recording the return of the commissioners, to call in ques-
tion their adjudication, the marking and bounding such land as
aforesaid and the record thereof shall be conclusive evidence of
the original location thereof, both as to the direction and termi-
nation of the lines; or if the adjudication of the commissioners
shall be confirmed by the verdict of a jury in any such suit, the
adjudication of the commissioners in the point confirmed by the
jury, and between the same parties and those claiming under
them, shall conclude to every intent and purpose; Provided, that
every infant, married woman, insane person, or person in prison
and beyond sea, and those claiming under either of them, shall
have five years after the disability removed, to commence such
suit or action.

16. If the parties interested have fairly agreed to settle the
lines of any land, and have fixed boundaries at the termination
of such lines to mark and ascertain as well the direction as the
extent of the lines, or if such lines have been settled and ascer-
tained by arbitration, no commissioners shall have authority
between the same parties or those claiming under them, or
either of them, to vary from the lines so settled, agreed or
ascertained.

17. If any persons shall agree to settle and ascertain the
location of their lands, and fix boundaries to the same, such
settlement and agreement, and a plot of the lands so settled,
may, by consent of the parties interested, be recorded in the
office of the clerk of the Circuit Court of the county, or Supe-
rior Court of Baltimore city, and when recorded shall have the
same effect as if the location of such land had been settled by
commissioners.
