CHAPTER 174.
An act to enable Robert Lloyd Tilghman, Tench Tilghman
and William H. Tilghman, the executors of James Earle
late of Talbot County, deceased, to sell and expose of the real
estate of his infant children.
WHEREAS Robert L. Tilghman, Tench Tilghman and
William H. Tilghman of Talbot county, by their memorial to
this General Assembly, have represented that the estate of their
wards and nieces Arianna Earle, Henrietta Earle, and Anna
Maria Earle, the infant children of James Earle late of the
same county deceased, after paying his debts and satisfying the
legacies bequeathed by him to Anna Maria Earle his widow
and relict, will principally consist of small tenements, lots and
parcels of land in and about the town of Easton in the same
county, whose present condition is wholly insufficient to allow
them the means of supporting, maintaining and educating the
said children; and have therefore prayed for power and autho-
rity to sell and dispose of the said houses and lots and parcels
of land, and to invest the proceeds of such sales in funds which
may be competent by an annual income to maintain and edu-
cate the said children, and this General Assembly having reason
to believe that the sale of the said real estate and the invest-
ment of the proceeds thereof in proper and productive funds
will be greatly for their advantage; Therefore,
Sec. 1. BE IT ENACTED by the General Assembly of
Maryland, That if shall and may be lawful to and for the said
Robert L. Tilghman, Tench Tilghman and William H. Tilgh-
man and the survivor or survivors of them, and they are here-
by authorised and empowered at any time or times hereafter,
and until the said Arianna Earle, Henrietta Earle and Anna
Maria Earle, the children of the said James Earle, shall res-
pectively attain their age of twenty one years, to bargain, sell
and dispose of the said houses, lots and parcels of land, or any
part or parcel thereof, and to grant, execute and acknowledge
according to law, one or more deeds of bargain and sale as the
case may require, to the purchaser or purchasers thereof in fee
simple, but before the said Robert L. Tilghman, Tench Tilgh-
man and William H. Tilghman shall proceed to make sale of
any of the said lands and tenements, they shall make a parti-
cular inventory or schedule thereof, wherein they shall describe
the situation, quality, quantity and name of the respective par-
