Preamble.

CHAPTER 15.

1 An act for the relief of James W. Zacharie.
Whereas, It appears to the general assembly of Maryland,
that James W. Zacharie has bona fide purchased a number of
slaves from sundry citizens of this state, in order to trans-
port the same to the state of Louisiana, and that the said
negroes are now on board of the Balloon, lying in the harbor
of Baltimore; and whereas, it appears that difficulties have
arisen at the custom house in relation to the transportation of
the same, owing to the informality in the bills of sale of the said
slaves; and whereas, the honorable Nicholas Brice, chief judge of
Baltimore city court, has examined the said negroes, who acknow-
ledge themselves to be slaves; Therefore,

May transport
negroes.

Be it enacted By the General Assembly of Maryland, That
it shall and may be lawful for the said James W. Zacharie, to trans-
port the said negroes from this state, as if bills of sale therefor
had been executed according to the laws of this state, any law to
the contrary notwithstanding.
