PRIVATE ACTS —CHARTERS.

ANNAPOLIS AND ELKRIDGE RAILROAD COMPANY.

AN ACT amendatory of the act passed at December session, eighteen hundred and
forty-six, chapter two hundred and thirty-four, entitled, a supplement to an act
concerning the Annapolis and Elkridge Railroad Company, passed at December
session, eighteen hundred and forty-one, chapter one hundred and sixty-eight.

WHEREAS, by the act passed at December session eighteen hundred and
forty-six, chapter two hundred and thirty-four, the Annapolis and
Elkridge Railroad Company were authorized to issue bonds of said
Company to John Higham, for the sum of nine thousand and ninety-
two dollars and sixty cents, in full of the balance due on a judgment
recovered by said John Higham against said Company, which said
bonds were to be paid in like manner as the bonds issued under the
original act; and whereas, by the construction placed on the proviso
to said act, the State Treasurer has withheld from the said John
Higham and his representatives, the interest due upon said bonds,
contrary to the manifest intention of the Legislature in passing said
act; therefore,

SECTION 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Maryland,
That the Treasurer of the State pay to the representatives and assigns
of the said John Higham, out of the profits particularly assigned in
the second section of the said act of December session, eighteen hun-
dred and forty-one, chapter one hundred and sixty-eight, the interest
now due upon the bonds issued in pursuance of the act of eighteen
hundred and forty-six, chapter two hundred and thirty-four, and he
shall hereafter pay interest upon the said bonds in the same manner as
interest is directed by the act of eighteen hundred and forty-one, chap-
ter one hundred and sixty-eight, to be paid upon the bonds issued in
pursuance of said last mentioned act, and the proviso to the act of
eighteen hundred and forty-six, chapter two hundred and thirty-four,
shall be construed to mean that no payment on account of the principal
of said bonds, by said act directed to be issued, shall be made until
after the payment of the bonds issued under the original act aforesaid.

SEC. 2 And be it enacted, That this act shall be in force from the
day of its passage.
