CHAPTER 185.
An act to make valid the acts and proceedings of Johnson Simpers, as a, Jus-
tice of the Peace for Cecil County.
Whereas, Johnson Simpers, of Cecil county, was duly commis-
sioned as a Justice of the Peace, in and for Cecil county several
years ago, and has been acting in the capacity of a justice of the
peace aforesaid since his appointment to the present time, and
whereas, the said Johnson Simpers, during the period of his ap-
pointment, was also acting as Post Master in said county, under
the authority of the general government, which would disqualify
the said Simpers from acting as a justice of the peace aforesaid;
and whereas, much inconvenience and injury may result to sundry
persons unless the acts which have been done by the said Johnson
Simpers as a justice of the peace of the county aforesaid, since his
appointment, are confirmed and made valid; Therefore,
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Maryland, That all
acts and proceedings which have been done by the said Johnson
Simpers, since his appointment as a justice of the peace for the
county aforesaid, shall be as valid and shall have the same force,
