WHEREAS Israel Morris, James Bond and Robert Harris,
of Harford

that by the act of November session, seventeen hundred and eighty-two,

to sell and dispose of part of two tracts of land in Harford county, for
the payment
of the debts of the said Daniel; that in consequence of the aforesaid act

terms of
sale; and prayed that a law may pass, empowering the trustees of James
Scott, |
