county,
and other citizens of this state, by their petition to this general
assembly have set forth, that they are put to great inconvenience
in passing to and from the county from and to South-street, in the said

by reason of the communication to the Conococheague road being interrupted
by
a lot of land belonging to George Pence, through which he will not consent
