† 1803, ch. 89.
Damages sustained
by John Worthington
to be ascertained.
Proviso. |
2. AND, whereas John Worthington, of Anne-Arundel
county,
had conceived himself aggrieved by the valuation and assessment
of damages laid by the commissioners named in the act †, entitled,
An act to authorise the opening of a road in Anne-Arundel and
Prince-George's counties, and did appeal therefrom to a jury,
agreeably to the provisions contained in that act, and although the
jury met and were empannelled, yet the diversity of opinion as to
the injury sustained by said Worthington was so great, that the
jury separated without assessing any damages; therefore, BE IT
ENACTED, That Francis Bealmear, Lancelot Warfield and Henry
Maynadier, be and they are hereby appointed commissioners to review
the road as now laid out, and the said commissioners, or a
majority of them, shall value and ascertain what damages have been
sustained by the said John Worthington, by means of the aforesaid
road passing over his land, and such valuation and assessment of
damages shall be final and conclusive, and shall be deemed and considered
as full satisfaction for all injuries sustained by said John
Worthington in opening said road; Provided, that if the commissioners
aforesaid, or a majority of them, shall assess the damages
to a greater amount than the commissioners named in the act before
recited, then the levy court of Anne-Arundel county, at their next
meeting thereafter, are hereby authorised and empowered to assess
and levy on the assessable property of Anne-Arundel county, such
excess of valuation or assessment of damages, and when collected
to pay over the same to the said John Worthington, or his order. |
