Preamble

WHEREAS, it has been represented to this General As-
embly by the memorial in writing of William Motter and
John Motter, of Frederick county, executors of the testa-
ment and last will of Henry Molter late of said county, de-
ceased, that certain real estate, lying in Frederick county
aforesaid, was conveyed to their said testator in his life
time, by Bene S Pigman, acting as trustee under a decree
of the Chancery Court of Maryland, and that it is appre-
hended and believed that such deed is defective and insuffi-
cient, inasmuch as the said Henry Motter was not the actual
purchaser at the sale of said estate, nor reported to the
