APPENDIX——RESOLUTIONS.
No. 3.
WHEREAS John Goslee, of Somerset county, hath, by
his petition
to this general assembly, set forth, that he deeded fifty acres of
land to his son, Matthew Goslee, for and in consideration of said
son's continuing with him until he arrived to age of twenty-one
years, or day of marriage; that his said son some short time thereafter,
contrary to his engagement aforesaid, left him and went to
the British army, and hath never since returned, by which means
the aforesaid fifty acres of land became subject to confiscation, and
was sold by the commissioners for the preservation and sale of British
property, and that the said petitioner purchased the aforesaid
land, for which he was sued, and is now under execution, the discharge
of which will prove his and a numerous family's entire
ruin; therefore, RESOLVED, That the attorney-general be and he is
hereby directed to discharge the said John Goslee from the aforesaid
execution; and that the treasurer of the western shore be and
he is hereby authorised and directed to deliver up to the aforesaid
John Goslee the bond passed to the state on account of the purchase
aforesaid, upon his paying all costs and charges in consequence of
the said suit, and all commissions and expenses incurred by the
state in the sale of said lands. |

by an acquiescence in the said adjudication, to take the most effectual,
and at the same time the least expensive steps, to call in question
and try the same, at the costs of the state, and if in his opinion
the said adjudication is lawful and ought to stand, to report such
his opinion to the next general assembly, with the reason thereof. |
