That if any person or persons,
through whose land the road to be laid out by virtue of this
act shall pass, believe that the amount paid him, her, or them,
is not a fair and full equivalent for the land, he, she, or they,
shall be at liberty to appeal by petition to the next county
court, before the judges thereof, who are hereby empowered
and directed to hear the allegations and proofs of both parties,
(the Levy Court of Prince George's county to be made defendant
in such appeal) and determine the same according to the
law of the land, and the equity and right of the matter, at the
same term of said court to which the appeal shall be made,
without any further continuance or delay, unless it should appear
to the satisfaction of said court, that further time ought to
be given to the party applying for the same, to enable the said
court to determine said appeal according to the law of the
land, and the right and equity of the matter, either of the said
parties may demand a trial by jury, or leave the cause to be
determined by the court; and if any sum shall be adjudged
by the said court to the party appealing on the trial and final
determination of said cause, the same, with such costs as may
be adjudged by said court, shall be levied for the use of the

as other county charges are: Provided always, that if the
said county court should confirm the decision of the commissioners,
the party appealing shall pay all costs of said appeal.
