MARYLAND, Sc.

        Pursuant to a Resolution of the General Assembly of Maryland, 
and under the direction of the Compilers of the Laws, I
have carefully compared and examined, with the Records in the
office of the Court of Appeals for the Western Shore, the Acts of
the General Assembly of Maryland, passed since the year seventeen
hundred and ninety-nine, as compiled by them, and do certify,
that the same are conformable to the record; and also that I have
noted under the title of each act the liber and folio of the record
book in which the same is recorded.

Given under my hand, at the City of Annapolis, this thirty-first day
    of January, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred
    and twenty, and in the forty-fourth year of the independence of
    the United States of America.
