executors of Henry Hall, were legally bound to convey to the
person under whom he claims, part of a tract of land lying in
Frederick county, called "Partnership;" that the said Elizabeth
Hall, John Hall, Thomas Watkins, and Thomas Henry Hall, are
all dead without making any conveyance of the said land, that an
interest in law in said land hath descended to the legal representa-
tives of the .said Elizabeth Hall, John Hall, Thomas Watkins, and
Thomas Henry Hall; that to get a specific performance and con-
veyance of the said land, it is necessary to file a bill in chancery

cover their names or the places of their residence, and is without
remedy according to the existing laws of this state; therefore,

part of the tract of land lying in Frederick county, called "Part-
nership;" the said county court instead of issuing subpoenas for

dants, shall and they are hereby authorised to cause the object and

cessive weeks, in some newspaper printed in the city of Baltimore,
