dispose of certain real estate.

WHEREAS, a congregation of Christians known as German and English
Lutherans have for some time past had, and enjoyed certain real
estate situated in Washington county, Maryland, which they acquired
under and by virtue of the last will and testament of a certain
Thomas M. Hogg, and also by virtue of a certain contract with one
Zacharias Claggett, on which real estate at considerable cost have
erected a church, a school house and have laid off a place of burial;
and whereas, since said erection and improvements on said real
estate the persons so constituting said church have found it more con-
venient to erect another church at a different place in said county,
whereby the use of said original building is not required for religious
purposes and they being desirous of selling and disposing of so much
of the land on which the original church was erected, as may not be
required for the use of the school, and for this purpose have applied
for relief; and to effect this purpose.
