A supplement to the act entitled, An act to repeal an act passed at Novem-

last session, entitled, an act to repeal an act passed at December
session, eighteen hundred and twelve, has failed to accomplish the
object for which it was designed; Therefore,
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Maryland, That
Colonel Francis M. Hall, William Bowie and John M'Gill be,
and they are hereby appointed additional commissioners to act in
conjunction with those appointed under the act of last session,
chapter fifty five, to ascertain and value what damage will accrue
to the parties through whose land the road runs, by the reopening
of the same.
