the State of Pennsylvania, all their right, title and interest
in certain lands in Dorchester county, adjoining the town
of Cambridge; which said lands are particularly described
in the said deed; AND WHEREAS, the acknowledgment of
the said Eliza C. Bayne to the said deed was made in
Louisiana, and is defective, because it was not made be-
fore a party properly authorised to take such acknowledg-
ment, under the laws of this State, and is also in other re-
spects defective, but the evident intention of the said deed,
as made apparent by the deed and the acknowledgments
thereto, was bona fide to convey all the right, title and in-
terest of the said Reverend Thomas Bayne and wife, in
the said lands, to the said Reverend John G. Waggaman

—Therefore,
Section 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of
Maryland, That the said deed from the said Reverend
Thomas Bayne and wife, to the said Reverend John C.

law of this State to the contrary notwithstanding.

Made valid.

SEC. 2. Be it further enacted, That all laws inconsistent
with this act, be and the same are hereby repealed.
