right and title of Isaac Warren, in one hundred acres of land in
said county called White Oak Swamp, at which sale a certain
Isaac Franklin became purchaser of the same, and the said
Davis conveyed the same to said Franklin, as will appear by
his deed bearing date the seventeenth day of May, in the year
eighteen hundred and thirteen, and recorded in the clerk's office
among the records of Worcester county court, ami whereas
some doubts are entertained whether a constable is competent
to make a valid title to land sold under a fieri facias, and
whereas the said Franklin since the execution of said deed has
departed this life, having first compromised with the said Isaac
Warren, without carrying the said compromise into effect, and
it appearing reasonable that said deed shall be valid; There-
fore,
Sec. 1. BE IT ENACTED by the General Assembly of
Maryland, That the said deed from said William Davis, con-
stable as aforesaid of Worcester county, to said Isaac Frank-
lin of said county dated the seventeenth day of May eighteen
hundred and thirteen, for one hundred acres of land, called
White Oak Swamp, on the said compromise being carried in-
to effect by the executor of said Isaac Franklin, and ratified by
the orphan's court of Worcester county, be and the same is
hereby declared to be as good and valid in law as the same
would or might have been, had it have been given by a sheriff
of said county, for land sold under a fieri facias to him di-
rected, and that said Isaac Franklin and his heirs or assigns,
shall have and hold all the right and title in said land that said
Isaac Warren had in the same at the time the judgment on
which said fieri facias issued was rendered against him, and
to satisfy which the said lands were sold.
2. AND BE IT ENACTED, That nothing herein con-
tained shall affect the right and title of any other person or per-
sons in said lands before the rendition of said judgment.
