Sec. 1. BE IT ENACTED by the General Assembly of
Maryland, That the orphan's court of Charles county shall
have full power and authority upon the application of Charity

Henry Dent, on behalf of herself and two infant children, and
being satisfied that it will promote the interest of the said wi-
dow and children, to order the sale of a certain tract of land
called St. Mark Enlarged, containing about one hundred and
seven acres, which was purchased by the said Henry Dent of
a certain Walter S. Chandler, a short time previous to his death,
lying in Charles county, upon such terms as the said orphan's
court shall think proper, and to authorise the said Charity
Dent to effect such sale.
2. AND BE IT ENACTED, That any sale made by the

of the State of Maryland, to be approved by the orphan's
court of said county, shall be given by the said Charity Dent

the due execution of the trust committed to her, which bond
shall be lodged with the register of wills for the county afore-
said, and shall be recorded and be subject to be put in suit by
any person interested therein, in the same manner as adminis-
tration bonds now are.
3. AND BE IT ENACTED, That the said Charity Dent
shall account for the money arising from the sale of the said
tract of land, and pay it over in such manner, and for such
purposes as the orphan's court aforesaid shall direct and order.
