WHEREAS sundry inhabitants of Easton and Talbot
county, by
their memorial to this general assembly have represented, that in
the year seventeen hundred and ninety-five, a certain Robins Chamberlaine,
of the said county, being the sole and absolute proprietor
of a parcel of land adjoining to the town of Easton, did cause the
same to be surveyed and laid out into lots, streets and alleys, with
intent that the said survey should be annexed to, and made part of,
the said town, and placed under the jurisdiction and government of
its commissioners, and that he said parcel of land, since the said
survey, hath been sold in various allotments to sundry individuals,
who have held and occupied the same, and erected many valuable
houses and improvements thereon, under a firm persuasion that the
said streets and alleys would be kept open and preserved as common
highways, and that the said survey would be added to the said town,
and have prayed that a law may be passed for incorporating the
said survey, and annexing the same to the said town of Easton, as
a part thereof, and for placing the same under the jurisdiction and
regulations of its commissioners: And whereas the objects of the
said memorial appear to this general assembly to be reasonable and
useful; therefore, |
Preamble. |
