raise a sum of Money for repairing the Protestant Episcopal Church
in the City of Annapolis.

WHEREAS in an act to which this is a supplement certain persons are named as managers,
most of whom have declined executing the provisions therein contained: And whereas the
sum thereby authorised to be raised is deemed insufficient to repair the building, and the further
sum of one thousand dollars is prayed for, therefore,

II. BE IT ENACTED, by the General Assembly of Maryland, That Samuel Ridout, James Shaw, Lewis
Neth, junior, and John Golder, be and they are hereby added to the persons appointed as managers
of the lottery aforesaid by the act to which this is a supplement, for the purpose of carrying the
objects of the original act and this supplement into execution, and that any three of the persons
appointed by the original act and this supplement, who shall be willing to act under this law, and
shall give bond, in the penalty of four thousand dollars, with the condition required by the original
act, be and they are hereby empowered to raise the sum of one thousand dollars in addition to the
sum specified in said act, raising in the whole the sum of two thousand dollars.

III. AND BE IT ENACTED, That if the said sum of two thousand dollars, authorised to be raised
by the lottery aforesaid, be more than sufficient to repair the said church, then and in such case the
said managers, or those three of them who shall undertake to act under this law, are hereby empow-
ered and directed to apply the balance to the repairing the parsonage-house belonging to said church.

undivided part of the real estate of an intestate, and the reversion, after the said life-estate,
may also be conveyed or devised, and there is no provision by law authorising the commissioners to
ascertain and lay off the part of the tenant for life: And whereas also it may frequently happen,
that a person entitled to an undivided part of the real estate of an intestate may devise the same in
fee, and there is no provision by law for dividing the intestate's estate in such case; for remedy
thereof,

II. BE IT ENACTED, by the General Assembly of Maryland, That where any person is entitled by
deed or devise to a life-estate in an undivided part of the real estate of an intestate, the same pro-
ceedings shall be had as are directed with regard to tenancies by the courtesy by an act passed at
November session, eighteen hundred and eight, entitled, A further additional supplement to an act,
entitled, An act to direct descents; and where any person is entitled by deed or devise to the re-
mainder after such life-estate, the same proceedings shall be had as are directed by law where a per-

real estate by devise in fee, the same proceedings shall be had as are directed with regard to pur-
chasers by an act, entitled, A further additional supplement to the act, entitled, An act to direct
descents, passed at November session, eighteen hundred and two.
