Resolution in favour of the Register of the Land Office of

the Western Shore.

WHEREAS, it is inconsistent with the genius of our in-

stitutions, and repugnant to that generous and liberal spirit

which has heretofore characterised our state, that any pub-

land, passed at December session, eighteen hundred and

twenty-nine, the books and papers of the late auditor gene-

to the register of the land office of the western shore, and

he is required by said resolution, to give information, &c,

to those who may be any way concerned therein without

making him any compensation for the same: — Therefore,

register of the land office of the western shore, be, and he

is hereby authorised, to charge and receive, for any infor-

out, or may hereafter give or make out, for any person or

persons interested in the books and papers committed to his

care, the same compensation as he is entitled to by law for

similar services in the land office, to be placed on the jour-

nal of accounts and paid by the state.
