veyance of certain real estate, lying and being
in Cecil county, Maryland, sold to her by John

Preamble.

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 authorised 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 ; therefore,

ment, to appoint a trustee to convey the said real

ing 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 re-
cord would be, if regularly filed and recorded in
said court ; and that the said docket entries shall
