| Preamble. |
WHEREAS Nathaniel Offutt, of Edward, of Montgomery

by his petition to this general assembly hath set forth, that he is
much injured by the public road leading from the town of Rockville,

of his land; that the said road can be turned in such a manner on
the line of several other tracts of land as to be as advantageous to

said petitioner, and praying relief in the said premises; therefore, |
Commissioners appointed
to view
road. |

the levy court of Montgomery county be and they are hereby authorised
to appoint commissioners, to view so much of the road
leading from the town of Rockville, in said county, to Potomac
river, as runs through the lands of the said Nathaniel Offutt, of
Edward, and if the said commissioners shall be of opinion that the
direction of the said road, or so much thereof as runs through said
land, can be changed and altered in such manner as will not be disadvantageous
to the county, that then the levy court shall have
powers to direct the said commissioners to alter and change the direction
of the said road, agreeable to the prayer of the petitioner,
and to cause the said road, and the alteration thereof as prayed for,
to be surveyed; and a plain plot of such alteration, with a certificate
of the courses thereof, shall be returned and recorded among
the land records of Montgomery county; and the said road, so altered,
shall for ever thereafter be deemed a public road, and shall
be kept in repair as all other public roads in said county are. |
Road not to be
altered until owners
of land consent

That the said road shall not be altered
or changed as aforesaid, until the owner or owners of the land or
lands over which the same shall or may pass shall have consented
thereto. |
Expenses to be
paid by N. Offutt. |
4. AND BE IT ENACTED, That all the expenses
to be incurred in

A Supplement to an act, entitled, An Act authorising the City Commissioners
to open and extend Water-Street in the City of
Baltimore.
Lib. JG. No. 4, fol. 543. |
Preamble.
* Ch. 68. |
WHEREAS it is represented to this general assembly,
by a number
of the inhabitants of the city of Baltimore, that an act passed
at November session, eighteen hundred and three, * entitled, An
act authorising the city commissioners to open and extend Water-street
in the city of Baltimore, has been rendered inefficient, by
reason of the time limited for the sheriff to perform certain duties
therein mentioned being too short; and as it is reasonable that the
said act should yet be carried into effect, therefore, |
