circumstances, shall be of opinion that such a road would be advantageous
to said county, to appoint five commissioners to survey,
lay out and open, a road in Cecil county, from Forguson Smith's

to Elkton, in as straight a direction as the nature of the ground will
admit, and with as little injury to the individuals over whose land
the same may pass as may comport with the public convenience;
And provided, the said road shall not be laid out through the garden,
yard, meadow or orchard, of any person or persons, without

plot of said road, when surveyed, confirmed and laid out, together
with a certificate of the courses of the same, shall be returned to the
clerk's office of Cecil county, there to be recorded. |
