Sheriff's com-
mission for col-
lection of fees.

An act to authorize and require the Commissioners of Car-
roll County to pay over to Baltimore County certain mo-
nies therein mentioned.

Passed Mar. 14,
1840.

WHEREAS, by the creation of Carroll county out of a
part of Baltimore and Frederick counties, the assessable
property of Baltimore county has been reduced; and where-
as, by an act passed at December session eighteen hundred
and thirty-one, chapter two hundred and eighty-one, the
commissioners of Baltimore county were required to levy
upon the assessable property of said county, twelve hun-
dred and ninety-seven dollars and ninety-six cents, to car-
ry into effect the provisions of the act entitled an act relat-
ing to the people of color in this State; and it being just
and right that the part levied upon Baltimore county for
the purpose aforesaid, should be reduced in proportion to
the reduction of the assessable property of the county by
the erection of Carroll county aforesaid; and whereas the
commissioners of Baltimore county has paid over to the
treasurer of the Western Shore for eighteen hundred and
thirty-seven, the whole amount of twelve hundred and
ninety-seven dollars and eighty-six cents, instead of one
thousand and seventy-five dollars, which is the sum now
paid by Baltimore county since a portion of her territory
has been reduced in Carroll county; therefore it is right
and proper that Carroll county should refund to Baltimore
county the sum of two hundred and twenty-two dollars
and eighty-six cents— Therefore,

Preamble.

SECTION 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of
Maryland, That it shall be lawful for the commissoners or
the levy court, as they may be, of Carroll county, and they
are directed and hereby required to levy upon the assessa-

Levy to be made.
