of certain lands lying and being on Monie creek in said county, devised the same to Anne Hack Ro-
bertson, wife to the said deceased, for and during her life, with remainder over to the children of his
two brothers, George and James Robertson, deceased, in fee; that the said George Robertson and
Dorothy Robertson, widow of the said James Robertson, believing it for the advantage and interest
of the said children, sold the said lands to Samuel Holbrook, of said county, and the said George
and the said Dorothy passed their bond for the conveyance of the same, in the penal sum of five
thousand pounds; that afterwards the said Holbrook sold the said lands to the petitioner, in fee,
who prays that an act may pass empowering the said George and the said Dorothy to convey the
same to him, as the children of the said George and the said James are minors, (except James Ro-
bertson, eldest son of the said Janus Robertson, deceased, who hath already made conveyance, )
and are incapable of doing it; and the prayer of the said petitioner appearing reasonable, and the
sale of the lands to be advantageous to the children, under the peculiar circumstances before recited,
