the State taxes in Queen Ann's county, for the year
eighteen hundred and and forty-two.

Passed March
7, 1844.

Whereas it has been represented to this General Assem-
bly, that Lemuel Dunbracco of Queen Ann's county, on the
sixth day of May eighteen hundred and forty-three, was
appointed collector of the State taxes of said county, for
the year eighteen hundred and forty-two, and gave bond
with approved security for the faithful performance of his
duty as such; but that owing to reasons over which he had
no control, the levy list was not placed in his hands, until
the fifth of September, of the year eighteen hundred and
forty-three, thus rendering it impossible for him to make the
payment into the Treasury by the first of September of the
year last aforesaid, as required by the act of December
session, eighteen hundred and forty-two, and for his failure
to do which, suit was brought on his official bond to the last
November termof the said county court; for remedy whereof,
