WHEREAS, It is represented to this General
Assembly, by the petition of William Merryman,
late sheriff and collector of Baltimore county, that
from the multiplicity of business which necessarily
devolved on him during his sheriffalty he was una-
ble to complete his collection within the time limited
by law, or to ascertain and make an annual return of
insolvencies, so as to be allowed the same by the
commissioners of the tax for Baltimore county, in
consequence whereof he is without remedy unless by
the interference of the General Assembly; and the
said William Merryman having prayed that a law
may pass extending to him for a reasonable time all
the powers necessary to collect the balances due him
as sheriff and collector, and to authorise the levy-
court to levy for him the sum of money which may
appear to be due him in consequence of payments
made by him on the property of insolvents as collec-
tor; which prayer appearing to be reasonable and
proper: Therefore,
