for two successive years, a sum of money not exceeding
two thousand dollars in each year to repair or rebuild
the jail of said county, and John Barnard, Daniel
Blocher and Henry Bruce were appointed commissioners
to superintend the work, and to expend the said appropriation
when made; And whereas, also, a supplement
to the said act was passed at the same session,
chapter five hundred and two, which was subsequently
repealed by the act of eighteen hundred and fifty-two,
chapter ninety-seven; And whereas, also, the said last
mentioned act authorised the said commissioners to levy
the sum of two thousand dollars in addition to the sum
of four thousand dollars authorised to be levied by the

fifty, assess the sum of one thousand dollars on the taxable
property of said county, and did also, at their annual
levy session in the year eighteen hundred and
fifty-one, assess the additional sum of two thousand
dollars upon the taxable property of said county, and

hands of the collectors of the county taxes in said county
for the said respective years, or in the hands of the
commissioners or superintendents or some one of them,
appointed by the said original act; And whereas, also,
in consequence of the refusal or failure to act of the
