| Preamble. |
WHEREAS it is represented to this general assembly
by the petition
of Francis Holland, that he, the said Francis Holland, together
with a certain James Croxall, obtained a law for the opening
and straightening a road from Annapolis to Baltimore; that the
said Francis Holland has fully complied with the provisions of the
said act, at no small expense, by having the road opened, made
and straightened, so far as it runs through Anne-Arundel county;
that the said James Croxall neglected to comply with the said act,
and is since dead, and that that part of the said road which runs
through Baltimore county has never been opened, made and straightened,
as contemplated by the said act, in consequence of which the
said Francis Holland suffers great injury; therefore, |
Commissioners appointed

and amend a
road. |

of Maryland, That
William Baker, Charles Bohn, junior, William Ashman, Peter
Forney and Daniel Hoffman, be and they are hereby appointed
commissioners to straighten and amend the road now opened and used,
from James Croxall's point, on the river Patapsco, until it intersects
the George-town road at or near Mrs. Carroll's bridge, on
Gwinn's Falls, in Baltimore county, of a width not exceeding thirty
feet; and the said road, when so straightened and amended, and
the valuation herein after directed to be made shall have taken place,
shall be recorded by the clerk of Baltimore county, and shall for
ever thereafter be deemed and taken to be a public highway, and
kept in repair as other public roads in said county. |

or a majority
of them, shall ascertain and value what damages may be
sustained by any person or persons through whose lands the said
road shall pass, taking into consideration the advantages and disadvantages,
(if any,) and the same when so assessed shall be paid,
or secured to be paid, by the said Francis Holland, to the person
or persons entitled to receive the same, within six months after the
said damages shall be ascertained in the mode prescribed by this
act. |

by such ascertainment

persons through
whose lands the said roads shall pass, or his, her or their guardian
