SARAH A. REYNOLDS.

AN ACT for the relief of Sarah A. Reynolds, formerly Sarah A. Denny, of New Cas-
tle county, in the State of Delaware, by authorizing the Circuit Court for Cecil
county to direct a conveyance of certain real estate, lying and being in Cecil

county, Maryland, sold to her by John B. Rowan, trustee, and making certain
docket entries, of said court, evidence.

WHEREAS, It appears by the docket entries in the Circuit Court for
Cecil county, in chancery, in the case of Charles K. McDonald and
Sarah A. Denny against Samuel Denny and others, that John B.
Rowan, as trustee, was authorized to sell the real estate of Daniel
Denny, deceased, lying in Cecil county; and whereas, also, it ap-
pears from said docket entries, that the said real estate was sold by

the said trustee, and said sale confirmed by the court, but all the
papers of the said court, connected with the said cause, have been
lost and cannot be found, and the said trustee having left the State of
Maryland, Sarah A. Reynolds, who claims to have purchased said
real estate from the said trustee, cannot obtain a conveyance; there-
fore,

SECTION 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Maryland,
That the Circuit Court be and is hereby authorized and empowered,
upon proof made to the said court, by the production of the receipts of
the said trustee, to the said Sarah A. Reynolds, for the purchase money
of the said real estate, and other sufficient proof of such sale and pay-
ment, to appoint a trustee to convey the said real estate to the purchaser
thereof.

SEC. 2. And be it further enacted, That the docket entries of the
said court, in the said cause, shall be as good evidence of the bill of
complaint having been filed, and of the objects of the bill and the parties
thereto, and of a decree having been passed, as the original papers or a
copy of the record would be, if regularly filed and recorded in said
court; and that the said docket entries shall also be evidence that, upon
a bill regularly filed and duly sustained by proof, the said real estate
was decreed to be sold by said court.

SEC. 3. And be it enacted, That this act shall take effect from its
passage.
