RESOLUTIONS.

twenty-eight, it was provided by the third section thereof,
that all certificates of surveys of lands made in Allegany
county, 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 said certificate
of survey, or become null and void. And whereas it is
represented that Alpheus B Hinkle hath returned to the
Land Office a certificate for a tract of land called "Sharp,"
containing twenty-five acres and one eighth of an acre,
which should have been compounded on, on or before the
seventh day of January eighteen hundred and forty-four, but
the same has been omitted to be done within the time pre-
scribed by law, and the State would gain nothing by com-
pelling the said Alpheus B. Hinkle to survey the same again.
Therefore,
Resolved by the General Assembly of Maryland, That
Alpheus B. Hinkle of Allegany county, be allowed twenty
days from the passage of this resolution, to compound on
the said certificate called " Sharp," and the Treasurer of
the Western Shore is hereby authorised to receive the
same, thereby making said certificate as valid as if the
same had been compounded on in due time. Provided
nevertheless, that all rights acquired in any part or the
whole of said tract of land, by other persons, since the
issuing of the warrant, on which said survey was made,
shall not be affected by any thing contained in this resolu-
tion.
