An Act authorising the Sale of five thousand Tickets in a Lottery
of
the State of Pennsylvania for the encouragement of the
Useful
Arts. Lib. TH. No. 1, fol. 476. |
| Preamble. |
WHEREAS George Dobbin, of the city of Baltimore,
hath by his
petition to this general assembly set forth, that he has been applied
to by the managers of a lottery in the state of Pennsylvania, authorised
by an act of the legislature thereof, for the encouragement
of the useful arts, as their agent, to sell and dispose, in the city of
Baltimore, of a quantity of tickets in the lottery aforesaid: And
whereas from the scheme of said lottery, and the laudable purposes
and views with which the same has been established, it appears
to this general assembly that it may, and most probably will, tend
to the encouragement and establishment of domestic manufactures,
and that it may be of great service to the poorer classes of society;
therefore, |
Tickets authorised
to be disposed
of in the city of
Baltimore.
Proviso. |
2. BE IT ENACTED, by the General Assembly
of Maryland, That
the said George Dobbin, as agent for the managers of the said lottery,
or any other person or persons whom they may authorise for
the purpose, be, and he or they is or are hereby authorised to sell
and dispose of tickets in the abovementioned lottery in the city of
Baltimore, any law to the contrary notwithstanding; Provided always,
that the number of tickets so sold or disposed of shall not,
in the whole, exceed the quantity of five thousand. |
