An act for the benefit of Ignatius Pike of Saint Mary's County.
WHEREAS, It is represented to this General Assembly by
the petition of Ignatius Pike, of Saint Mary's county, that in
the year eighteen hundred and ten, two hogsheads of tobacco
were inspected at Calhoun's warehouse in the city of Baltimore,

over to said petitioner by said Joseph Greenwell, that in the
year eighteen hundred and thirteen when performing a tour of

to enable him to obtain new tobacco notes for said tobacco from
the inspector of said warehouse; Therefore,

Maryland, That if the said Ignatius Pike shall make oath be-
fore a justice of the peace of Baltimore county, at any time
within six months after the passage of this act, to the marks,
numbers and dates of such notes that the same were made to
Joseph Greenwell and by him paid over to the said Ignatius
Pike, and for what quantity of tobacco the same were given,
and that he at the time said notes were lost mislaid or destroy-
ed was lawfully and justly entitled to receive the tobacco men-
tioned in said notes, and shall take a certificate thereof from
such justice, and upon producing such certificate to the inspec-
tor or inspectors for the time being at Calhoun's warehouse, and
lodging the same with him or them, the said inspector or in-
spectors shall deliver to the said Ignatius Pike, new notes for
the said two hogsheads of tobacco, with the marks, numbers,
weights and dates corresponding with the former notes so lost,
