and five t before they began to dispose of, or make sale of any of,
the tickets, to give their bond to the state of Maryland, condition-
ed for the payment of ten thousand dollars, for the performance of
the trust reposed in them, and to lodge such bond in the clerk's
office of Kent county, there to be recorded, and upon an office
copy suit or suits may be instituted against the obligors therein
mentioned, or any of them, or their, or any of their legal repre-
sentatives, for any breach or noncompliance with the condition
thereof; and it has been stated, that the said commissioners took
upon themselves to act, and propose a scheme and make sale of
the tickets, and have drawn the lottery, before the bond was exe-
cuted and signed by the whole of the commissioners, and have not
lodged the bond in the clerk's office, as was directed by the origi-
nal act and the supplement thereto, to which this is an additional
supplement; and doubts have arisen whether they could institute
suits for any monies due to them for the sale of the tickets, or
otherwise, for the benefit of the parish or institution;

Each commission-
er having taken
upon himself to
act shall be liable,
&c.

2. BE IT ENACTED, by the General Assembly of Maryland, That
each and every one of the commissioners, having taken upon them-
selves to act, and proceeded to draw the said lottery, shall be lia-
ble in all cases in the same manner as they would or might have
been by the original act, and the supplement thereto, provided they
had all signed the said bond, and lodged in the clerk's office, as
was directed to have been done; and all suit or suits that has been,
or may hereafter be, brought for against the said commissioners,
in consequence of their neglect, refusal or nonperformance, of any
of them, their, or any of their legal representatives, shall be deem-
ed legal and valid, as they would or might have been intended by
the original act, or the supplement thereto, to which this is an ad-
ditional supplement, any law to the contrary notwithstanding.
