A Supplement to an act, entitled, An act to grant to Gabriel Peterson
Vanhorn an exclusive right to keep stage carriages
on the
public road from the river Susquehanna to the river
Patowmack. |
| Preamble. |
WHEREAS Gabriel Peterson Vanhorn has, by his petition
to this general
assembly, set forth, that the legislature of Maryland, at November
session, seventeen hundred and eighty-five, granted him an
exclusive right (under certain regulations) to carry on and support
stage carriages
between the river Patowmack and Susquehanna, and that eh object of
such grant
was to indemnify him in attempting and bringing to perfection an institution
of
great public utility, and to encourage his further exertions therein;
that from
the declension of commerce, the want of public bridges, and the ruinous
state
of the highways, he has been subjected to very heavy losses, and has
been, and
will probably during the residue of the term granted him be prevented
from
benefiting by the said exclusive privilege; that the institution has
been found to
be of great public advantage, and that the speedy and punctual conveyance
of
the mail principally depends on its support; and prayed that an act
may pass
enlarging the term of his grant, so as to enable him to reap the benefit
originally
intended to be conferred on him; and this general assembly thinking
the prayer
of said petition reasonable, |
Exclusive
permission
continued,
&c. |
II. Be it enacted,
by
the General Assembly of Maryland, That the sole and exclusive
permission, privilege and right, given and granted by the said act
to the
said Gabriel Peterson Vanhorn, his executors, administrators and assigns,
for the
term of five years, commencing on the first day of February, one thousand
seven
hundred and eighty-six, shall be, and it is hereby given, granted and
continued,
to the said Gabriel Peterson Vanhorn, his executors, administrators
and assigns,
in addition to the term mentioned in said act, until the first day
in February, in
the year seventeen hundred and ninety-four; and every provision, clause,
matter |
