Resolution in favor of John B. Armistead, of Farquier
county, Virginia.
WHEREAS, by an act passed at December session eigh-
teen hundred and twenty two, chap, one hundred and twen-
ty-eight, it was provided by the third section thereof; that
all certificates of surveys of lands made in Allegany coun-
ty, after the passage of said act, and returned to the land
office, of the western shore, should be compounded on,
within twelve months from the date of such certificate of
survey, or become null and void, and the lands therein con-
tained, be liable to be again taken up, as other vacant
land in said county; and whereas, it is represented to this
general assembly, that John B. Armistead, has returned to
the land office, a certificate for land called Internal Im-
provement, containing five thousand eight hundred and
thirty-two acres and five eighths of an acre, which should
have been compounded on, or before the twentieth day of
December, eighteen hundred and thirty two, but the same
has been omitted to be done within the time prescribed
by law; and without legislation on the subject, another
survey would be necessary, which would be attended with
a very serious expense to the party, and no advantage re-
sult therefrom to the state — Therefore,
Resolved, That John B. Armistead, be allowed ninety
days from the passage of this resolution, to compound on.
the said certificate for land embraced therein, called Inter-
nal Improvement, containing five thousand eight hundred
and thirty two acres and five eighths of an acre of land,
and the treasurer of the western shore, is hereby authorized
to receive the same, thereby making the survey and certi-
ficate as valid as if the same had been compounded on,
in due time as provided by the law of December session,
eighteen hundred and twenty-two, chapter one hundred
and twenty eight, section third. Provided nevertheless, that
rights acquired in any part or the whole of said land by
other persons, since the issuing of said warrant, under
which said survey was made, shall not be affected by any
thing contained in this resolution.
