ing a lot of ground with a dwelling house, situate near the intersec-
tion of Lombard and Hanover streets, and fronting on the latter,
and the second being a lot and dwelling house, situate in Sharp-street,
near the African Meeting-House; the said lots or parcels of ground
being conveyed to the said Isaac Tyson, William Tyson, Nathan
Tyson, Jr. and Elisha Tyson, (the younger,) in consideration of the

Elisha, and to the survivor or survivors of them, from and immedi-
ately after the decease of the said Elisha Tyson, (the elder,) to their
own use and behoof, thence forth forever, in trust for the sole and
separate use and benefit of the aforesaid Mary Clap, for and during
her natural life, and after her decease, to the proper use and benefit
of all the children of the said Mary Clap, as tenants in common;
and at the death of the said Mary, the said trustees are directed to
convey to the said surviving children the said estate in fee; and in
defect of children of the said Mary, living at the time of her death,
the said trustees are directed to convey to the right heirs of the
grantor. And it is further represented, that the said Mary hath
at this time, several infant children of tender age, and that it hath
become advantageous to the said Mary and her children, that the
said trustees should have power to exchange the two dwelling hou-
ses in the said deed mentioned, or one of them, as it may hereafter
seem expedient, for property or land of like value in the county or
elsewhere, the said property or land so taken in exchange to be held
subject to the same limitations, trust and uses as the property ori-
ginally conveyed; and as such exchange or sale and purchase could
not be made without the intervention of this legislature, by reason
of the limitation to the infant children of the said Mary, who are in-
capable of assenting to, or uniting in a deed of conveyance by the
said trustees; and it appearing reasonable that the parties concerned
should have the benefit of an act in their favor—Therefore,
