CHAPTER 63.

A Supplement to an act, entitled, An act to confirm the title
of Hugh Quigley and John M'Greagor, of Harford
county, to certain Lands therein mentioned.
Whereas in an act, passed at December session eighteen hun-
dred and sixteen, to confirm the titles of Hugh Quigley and John
M'Greagor to certain lands therein mentioned, the name of John
was, by mistake, inserted instead of James, and the title of the
lands conveyed by William Jones to James M'Greagor, was con-
firmed to John M'Greagor instead of James M'Greagor, therefore.
Sec. 1. Be it enacted, by the General Assembly of Maryland, That
the deed of conveyance from William Junes to James M'Greagor,
bearing date the twenty-ninth day of August seventeen hundred
and ninety-five, duly acknowledged and recorded among the land
records of Harford county, shall have the same force and effect, to
vest in the said James M'Greagor, his heirs and assigns, a title to
the said lands, as if the. said James M'Greagor had been natura-
lized agreeably to the laws of the United States, at the time of the
execution of the said deed, subject to the provisions made in the
original act to which this is a supplement.
