A Supplement to the act for the further relief of the securities of
    Thomas Williams, deceased, late collector of the tax and public
    dues in Prince-George's county, and for other purposes therein
    mentioned.
Preamble.     WHEREAS by the act for the further relief of the securities of Thomas
Williams, late collector of the tax for Prince-George's county,
the said securities, or either of them, are vested with full power and
authority to sell and dispose of such part or parts of their property, or the property
of the late Thomas Williams, as they might think proper, and to take
bonds to the state from the purchasers, payable in the year seventeen hundred and
ninety, in specie or certificates, and in such case, upon the bonds being lodged
with the treasurer of the western shore, the said securities, or either of them,
should have a receipt and credit on the treasurer's books for so much money as
was expressed in the condition of the said bonds; and it being the intention of
this legislature, that no receipt or credit as aforesaid, should be allowed the securities,
or either of them, on any bond given for property sold, which at the time
of passing the said act did not belong to the said securities, or some one of them,
or to the estate of the said Thomas Williams; and under colour of the said act,
the said securities may tender to the treasurer bonds taken for property acquired
in the course of collecting the taxes or otherwise, contrary to the true intent and
meaning of the said act:  Therefore,
Bonds not to
be received

but on oath,
&c.
    II.  Be it enacted, by the general assembly of Maryland, That no bond hereafter
to be offered shall be received by the treasurer from the said securities, or either
of them, and placed to their credit, unless the said securities, or some one of
them, make oath (to be administered by the treasurer of the western shore) at
the time of offering such bond, that the same was bonâ fide taken for the purchase
of property which belonged to the estate of the said Thomas Williams, or
some one of the said securities, at the time when the said recited act passed.  And
it is hereby declared to be the true intent and meaning of the said recited act,
that persons indebted for taxes to be collected by the said securities, have a right
and election to pay such certificates or bills of credit for the said taxes as the 
said securities have a right to pay into the treasury; and if any property is or
shall be taken by the said securities and sold, it shall be sold upon the terms of
paying in money or certificates aforesaid, at the election of the buyer, to the
amount of the sum due to the said securities, and the residue, if any, in money or
certificates, if the owner shall so direct, to the owners of the property taken,
and these terms shall be publicly notified at the time of sale; and if any property
already taken, and not sold, or if sold and purchased by the securities, or any
of them, or any person for them, may be redeemed by paying certificates or bills
of credit as aforesaid, on or before the first day of March next; and it is hereby
declared to be the duty of the said securities to give certificates in change, if they
have them, to the purchasers of property sold, or to any person offering to pay
the tax in certificates.
