Preamble,

WHEREAS, it is represented to this General Assembly by
the petition of sundry citizens of Baltimore county, that a
certain William Houch, and others, were appointed com-
missioners to locate, lay out, and open a new road from a
point beginning at or near Coxes town, and running to Rock-

near Michael Miller's, and that the said commissioners fail-
ed to make return of their proceedings in the premises to
the commissioners of Baltimore county within the time lim-
ited by law, And whereas, it is right that the said proceed-

sioners of Baltimore county as if returned within due time,
