CHAP. XCVII.
An Act For the relief of the Infant Children of Levin H. Campbell, late of Dor-
chester County.
whereas it appears to the general assembly of Maryland, that
Levin H. Campbell, late of Dorchester county, deceased, purchased
from Samuel Chamberlain, and Ariana W. his wife, certain lands
and tenements held by the said Samuel in right of his wife Ariana
W. for which they executed to him a deed of bargain and sale,
dated the fifth day of September eighteen hundred and sixteen:
And whereas, it has been represented to this general assembly, by
the petition of Joseph E. Muse, the uncle of the infant children of
said Levin H. Campbell, that no part of the purchase money was
paid by the said Levin H. Campbell, and that the contract, in con-
sequence of the death of said Levin H. Campbell, if enforced,
would be greatly injurious to the heirs of the said Levin H. Camp-
bell, and the said Samuel hath agreed that the said contract and
dred may be vacated; and the said Joseph E. Muse and Samuel
Chamberlain, together with others, the relations and friends of the
infant children of said Levin H. Campbell, have petitioned that the
said deed and contract shall be vacated; therefore,
1. Be it enacted, by the General Assembly of Maryland, That the
said Joseph E. Muse may prefer a petition to the. next county court
for Dorchester county, stating the grounds upon which he deems
that the rescinding of the deed and contract would be for the be-
nefit of the infant heirs of said Campbell, and if the court, upon
hearing, shall be of opinion that it will be for the benefit of the in-
fant heirs of said Campbell, the said court may decree that the said
deed shall have no effect, and that the said Samuel Chamberlain,
and Ariana W. his wife, shall be restored and re-seized of their es-
tate in the lands and tenements in the deed contained, according to
their respective lights, in as full and ample a manner as if no deed
had ever been executed, and shall order and decree all agreements,
contracts and bonds, executed in relation thereto, and for securing
the purchase money, to be cancelled, delivered up, and the estate of
the said Levin H. Campbell therefrom discharged, Provided always,
that nothing herein contained shall be construed to affect any liens
