by the petition of Charles Queen, of Allegany county, that
a certain Patrick Dugan, formerly of said county, became entitled,
as a settler, to the pre-emption of lot No. 264 of the lands westward
of Fort Cumberland, and afterwards transferred and assigned
the said lot to a certain Frederick Bray, who assigned the same
to the petitioner; that the purchase money of the said lot has been
fully paid; that the last payment was made by the petitioner; that

to the said Patrick Dugan, or to the petitioner, was made out to
Peter Dugan; that there is no person of the name of Peter Dugan
who claims the said land, and that on account of the said mistake
the petitioner, who has the equitable title to the said lot, has

of the said Charles Queen, made to him in the land-office, be authorised
to inquire into all the circumstances relative to the said
lot, and the patent issued for the same, and that if the chancellor
shall be satisfied that no person of the name of Peter Dugan hath
any equitable title to the said lot, and that the patent for the said
lot ought to have issued to the said Charles Queen, or that the said
Queen has an equitable claim to the said lot, he the said chancellor
shall have full power to order a vacation of the said patent to Peter
Dugan, and to direct a patent for the said lot to be issued to
the said Charles Queen; provided nevertheless, that before the
chancellor shall direct a patent to Charles Queen as aforesaid, he
shall be satisfied that a copy of this resolve, under his order, hat
been published at least three weeks successively in some news-paper
of Hager's-town, and that at least two months have elapsed
since the last publication; and provided also, that no good cause
shall have been shewn to the chancellor against issuing the said
patent to the said Charles Queen. |
