CHAP. LIV.
A Supplement to an act, entitled, An act to establish a market
in Frederick-town in Frederick county, and for the
regulation
of said market. |
| Preamble. |
WHEREAS, by the report from the committee to whom
was referred the petition of sundry inhabitants of Frederick-town
and county, for the removal of the market-house in said
town, and the counter petition thereto, which said report has been
concurred
with, by which it appears, that the petition for the removal is
inadmissible, because the contracted situation complained of is removed
by a donation of ground of nearly double the quantity it now contains,
and
more especially because the present ground was given for the express
purpose
of building and continuing the market-house thereon, and that when
the
market-house is removed the property reverts to the original proprietor,
and cannot constitutionally be sold by the inhabitants of said town
for any
purpose or use whatever: And whereas it further appears by said
report,
that the prayer of the counter petition ought to br granted, on the
express
terms that they, the donors, convey to the inhabitants of said town
and county, in like manner as the present market-ground is conveyed,
in
fee, for the sole purpose and use of said market, the ground expressed
in
said petition to be given for that purpose: And whereas a deed
of conveyance
has been since made and executed, in trust, for the use of and
in behalf of the inhabitants of said town and county, for the purposes
aforesaid, to wit, on or about the twentieth day of January, seventeen
hundred and eighty-six, by William Murdock Beall, Henry McCleary,
John Gibhart, and Henry Zealer, the donors aforesaid, for a certain
portion
of ground therein mentioned and described, containing sixty feet by
one hundred and eighty feet, more or less, as also an alley of twelve
feet
by one hundred and fifty-five feet, for the use and purpose aforesaid,
to
and in the name of Baker Johnson, Richard Potts, George Murdock,
John Bruner, Jacob Steiner, John Adlum, and Peter Mantz, as trustees,
for the use of the inhabitants aforesaid; and it is further prayed,
that an
act of assembly may be passed for confirming the said deed, and vesting
the estate therein mentioned to the trustees aforesaid, for the use
and purpose
aforesaid: Therefore, |
Conveyance
made good
and sufficient,
&c. |
II. Be it enacted,
by the General Assembly of Maryland, That the said
conveyance so made by the said William Murdock Beall, Henry McCleary,
John Gibhart, and Henry Zealer, to the said trustees, and every clause,
matter and thing, therein contained, shall be and is hereby declared good
and sufficient in law, for the purposes and uses therein mentioned,
