Preamble.
|
WHEREAS, by the act to which this is a supplement,
the will of the Legislature was clearly expressed that
the claims preferred by Passmore McCullough against
the Annapolis and Elkridge Rail Road Company, when
fairly ascertained, should be provided for and satisfied in
the manner therein mentioned; and whereas, by an
award made under the provisions of said act, the said
company was declared to be indebted to said Passmore
McCullough in the sum of forty-nine thousand one hun-
dred and thirty-one dollars and thirty-one cents; and
whereas, the said company, although duly notified and
requested to do so, declined to appear by counsel, or
with witnesses, before the referrees appointed by said
act, and have since refused to perform said award, and
have wholly denied its validity, and have declined to
comply in any manner with the directions of said act,
whereby the will of the Legislature in the premises has
been wholly defeated, and its aforesaid act rendered in-
operative and of none effect; and whereas, it may be
found in case the said claims are properly defended, that
the sum due to the said Passmore McCullough, ascer-
tained upon the principles and agreeably to the inten-
tions of said act, may not amount to so large a sum as
declared by said award, or to any sum, and it being right
that a full opportunity should be afforded for the produc-
tion of testimony and for a fair decision, and that some
apt provision should be made for the payment of the sum
when fairly ascertained as aforesaid, as may be found
due to him — Therefore,
