CHAPTER 48.
An act to confirm and make valid a Deed from Charles G.
Dorsey to William Shipley, junior.
Whereas it has been represented to this general assembly, by
the petition of Rebecca Howard, of Anne-Arundel county, the
widow and devisee of Doctor Henry Howard, late of the city of
Baltimore, that the said Henry Howard in his life-time purchased
of a certain William Shipley, junior, a tract or parcel of land ly-
ing and being in Anne Arundel county, called Pleasant Valley:
And whereas it is further represented, that the said William Ship-
ley, junior, derived title to the same under a deed from a certain
Charles G. Dorsey, bearing date the twelfth day of February,
eighteen hundred and fourteen, which deed is considered defective
by reason of its not appearing from any certificate or seal of the
clerk of Baltimore county court, that John Dougherty and Robert
R. Richardson. Esquires, before whom the same appears to have
been acknowledged, were at the time of taking the said acknowledg-
ment justices of the peace in and for Baltimore county, duly com-
missioned and qualified: And whereas by reason of such defect,
the title to the said land may hereafter be called in question, there-
fore,
Sec. 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Maryland, That
a deed of conveyance from Charles G. Dorsey, of Baltimore coun-
ty, to William Shipley, junior, of the same county, dated the
twelfth day of February, eighteen hundred and fourteen, for a
tract or parcel of land lying and being in Anne-Arundel county,
called Pleasant Valley, shall have the same force, operation and
effect, to all intents and purposes whatsoever, as if at the time of
the said deed being admitted to record it had been certified under
the hand and seal of the clerk of Baltimore county court, that
John Dougherty and Robert R. Richardson, Esquires, before whom
the same appears to have been acknowledged, were at the time of
taking such acknowledgment justices of the peace in and for Balti-
more county, duly commissioned and qualified; Provided always,
that nothing herein contained shall in any manner defeat or affect
any right, title or claim, to the said property, or any part thereof,
lawfully acquired by any person or persons whatsoever before the
passage of this act.
