WHEREAS the testamentary laws of this state are
at present extremely
confused, contradictory and defective, and so prolix that
the legislature cannot, at this session, conveniently undertake to
revise and amend the whole system: And whereas it is probable
that the following gentlemen, from their long experience and practice
of the law, may be able, during the recess of the present legislature,
to frame a very complete code of testamentary laws,
RESOLVED, therefore, That Alexander Contee Hanson, Samuel
Chase, William Pinkney, James Tilghman of Queen Anne's, and
Nicholas Hammond, Esquires, or any three of them, be requested
to frame and prepare for the consideration of the legislature at |
Persons appointed
to prepare a code
of testamentary
