agreed, that in the two last of the above causes, decrees shall pass,
giving the complainant dower in the following tracts, pieces or
parcels of land, to wit, one lot on Jones' Falls; one lot called the
Garden, and one other lot adjoining the same, (the said three lots
or parcels of land being the same now advertised to be sold on the
7th of August next, by the trustees for the sale of the real estate
of Samuel Chase, deceased;) also in a lot of ground situated on
the west side of Jones' Falls, conveyed by the said Samuel Chase,
deceased, to William Camp, sometime in the month of April, A. D.
1811; also in two lots between Water and Pratt streets, in the city
of Baltimore, conveyed by the said Samuel Chase, deceased, to a
certain John Gross, and by the said Gross afterwards conveyed to
Andrew Myer; also in a certain lot or parcel of ground, advertised
