CHAPTER 327.

An act for the benefit of John B. Perdue of Worcester
County.

Passed March
9, 1844.

WheReas John B. Perdue of Worcester county, by his
petition set forth, that on the twenty-second day of May
eighteen hundred and forty-two, he had resurveyed and laid
out for him sundry tracts of land lying in the county afore-
said and a certificate returned to the land office, called
Perdues Double Trouble, containing four hundred and
eighty acres, that he is desious of obtaining a patent on his
certificate of resurvey and thereby perfecting his title to
the same from the State, but cannot do so, because the rules
and law of the land office requires, that the original tracts
upon which the resurvey was made, should be patented
lands, that he is owner of parts of two of the original tracts
included in said resurvey called the End of Strife, and
Perdues Double Purchase, both of which have been com-
pounded on, but not patented, and he cannot obtain a patent
on his resurvey until those two original tracts are first
patented. Therefore,
