Messrs. Shafers', of Washington County, to dispose
of their property by lot.

Passed Mar. 23,
1839.

WHEREAS, from various causes beyond their control,
the Messrs. Shafers' have been unable to draw their
lottery, at the time proposed; And whereas, this

ty, which is the foundation of the scheme; And where-
as, this Legislature is satisfied that it would be ruinous
to them to make drawing, in its present condition, be-
cause of the small number of tickets sold and expenses
already incurred; —Therefore,

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Maryland,
That the act to which this is a further additional sup-
