said lottery, give bond to the state of Maryland, in the penalty of
eight thousand dollars, conditioned that they will well and truly
apply so much of the money arising therefrom, within ten months
after the drawing thereof, as will pay the fortunate adventurers for
prizes drawn by them in said lottery, and the residue to the building
of the said church and the defraying the necessary expenses
incurred in the management of the said lottery. |
