whereas William Fell, of Baltimore-town, by his humble petition
to this general assembly, hath set forth, that he is seized and possessed
of great part
of a tract of land called Fell's Prospect, part of which hath been heretofore
laid
out into lots, and annexed to Baltimore-town, which said lots have been
built
upon and considerable improved; and that it would greatly tend to the advantage
of the said town, in case the remaining part of the said tract of land
was laid out
into convenient streets, lanes and alleys, and therefore prayed a law might
pass for that purpose; and it appearing to this general assembly, that
to extend
the limits of the said town would contribute to promote the trade and commerce
thereof: Be it enacted, That the commissioners
of Baltimore-town, or the major
part of them, be authorised and required, at any time before the first
day of
May next, to cause the aforesaid tract of land, or such part thereof as
they may

to
be surveyed, and laid out into lots, streets, lanes and alleys, at the
proper cost
and expence of the said William Fell, in such manner as to the said commissioners,
or a major part of them, shall seem convenient. |

lanes and
alleys, which are now laid out on the same, and which shall be laid out
in virtue
of this act; and the said plot shall be recorded amongst the records of
the said
town, as soon as conveniently may be thereafter, there to remain as evidence
of
the boundaries, situation and location, of the said lots, and of the streets,
lanes
and alleys; which said streets, lanes and alleys, hereafter to be laid
out in pursuance
of this act, shall be highways, and be so deemed and taken to all intents
and purposes whatever; and when the same shall be done, the said land,
so surveyed
and laid out, shall be, and is hereby declared to be, part of Baltimore-town,
as fully and amply as if included originally therein, and shall have the
same immunities
and privileges as the rest of the said town has, or by former laws ought
to have, saving to the state of Maryland, and all bodies politic and corporate,
and
all persons not mentioned in this act, their several and respective rights. |
