LAWS OF MARYLAND.
27. AND BE IT ENACTED, That this act shall
continue and be
in force for two years, and to the end of the next session of assembly
which shall happen thereafter.
This act was continued by 1803, ch.
110; and by 1804, ch. 108, to the 30th of
October 1805, and to the end of the next session thereafter. It therefore
came
within the provisions of the act of 1805, ch. 109, by which, acts limited
to the
end of that session, or which would expire during the same, or before the
end of
the ensuing assembly, were continued until the 31st of October then next,
and
until the end of the next session thereafter, unless such as were repugnant
to or
inconsistent with laws passed during that session, and subject to alterations
which
had been made therein. Similar general continuing acts have since
been passed
at every annual session. |
