    Walter Hanson, Joseph Hanson Harrison, Daniel Jenifer, George Dent, John Dent, Samuel Love, and
Josias Hawkins, or the major part, are empowered to examine the records of deeds, land commissions,
and the depositions thereon, comparing them with the originals, and to amend errors and imperfections,
where amendments can be made without greatly obliterating or defacing the record.  In any case where
such an amendment cannot be made, they are to give a certificate thereof, directing the clerk to make a
new record, at the expence of the party requiring it.  At the request of any person interested, they are
likewise to examine papers, purporting to be land commissions and depositions, which, from the neglect of
the clerk have never been recorded; and if such papers shall appear genuine, and properly executed, the
commissioners are to give certificates thereof, and the clerk, at the party's expence, is to make records,
which shall be as valid as if made within legal time.
    The said commissioners are directed, first to take the oaths to government, the test, and an oath of office
prescribed by the act.  The clerk is commanded to attend them, and their authority is to endure
from the first of December next, till the last of November, 1773.
