An Act respecting certain Land Certificates. Lib. JG.
No. 4, fol. 652. |
| Preamble. |
WHEREAS it has been represented to this general
assembly, that
large bodies of land, laying in Allegany county, have heretofore
been surveyed, and certificates made out, but have never been
compounded on, and now lay liable to be affected by warrants of
proclamation, but from the vast quantities of bad land included in
these surveys, it can never be an object with any individual to take
them up for purposes of cultivation, in whole, and that as, according
to the regulations of the land office, these surveys cannot be taken
in part, and as considerable benefit would result to the county
of Allegany, as well as to persons wishing to make actual surveys
for the purpose of settling thereon, from these large tracts or surveys
of land being vacated, or placed in such a situation as to be
located or taken in part, as well as in whole; therefore, |
Certain certificates
vacated. |
2. BE IT ENACTED, by the General * of Maryland,
That all certificates
of surveys of land heretofore made in Allegany county,
not compounded upon, and which are now liable to proclamation,
be and the same are, on and after the first day of August next,
unless then paid on, or secured by warrant or proclamation, hereby
vacated, made null and void, and placed upon the same footing
with all other vacant land in said county, liable to be affected in the
same manner, and in any quantity, without being bound by, or
paying any regard to, the afore-mentioned surveys; Provided, that
the land included in any survey vacated by this law, shall not be
liable to be affected by any warrant issued, or to be issued, before
the first day of August next.
