of Maryland, by the petition of B. Chambers

collector of State tax for Kent county, the sum of
two hundred dollars, and of William H. Nowland,
collector of State tax for Cecil county, three hundred
and twenty dollars, and of Benjamin B.

county, the sum of three hundred dollars, making in

Wickes, by him to be deposited in one of the

Joseph Wickes, while on his way to the city of Baltimore,
was robbed of his pocket book which contained
the money aforesaid, with a considerable sum of his
own money, as appears by the affidavit of the said Joseph
Wickes, filed with the aforesaid petition, and that
no part of the said sum of eight hundred and twenty
dollars was ever recovered, except the sum of ninety-four
dollars and ninety-five cents, for which a check
had been given on one of the Baltimore banks, leaving
the petitioner a loser to the amount of seven hundred
and twenty-five dollars and five cents; Therefore,
|
Authority to
allow.
|
Be it enacted by the General
Assembly of Maryland,
That the Treasurer and Comptroller be, and they are
hereby authorised to allow B. Chambers Wickes the
