and conditions as they shall deem most conducive to their interest,
and upon the receipt of the money to execute a deed or deeds there-
for, conveying all the right, title and estate, which may have de-
scended to all the children as aforesaid in and to the same.
2. And be it enacted, That the said Richard B. Dorsey, before
he proceeds to sell such estate, shall execute a bund to the state of
Maryland, with such security, and in such sum, as the orphans

will well and truly perform the trust reposed in him by this law,
and that he will, as administrator of the said William H. Dorsey,
truly and faithfully apply the proceeds arising from any such sale,
so as aforesaid to be by him made, in discharge of the debts of the
said William H. Dorsey, which bond shall be filed and recorded in
the orphans court, and upon any office copy thereof suit or suits
may be brought by any person interested therein.

B. Dorsey to file in the said orphans court a full and detailed ac-
count of the proceedings and sales made under this law.
4. And be it enacted, That nothing herein contained shall be con-
strued to affect in any wise, any right or title to dower which the
widow of the said William H. Dorsey may have in or to any of the
said lands, or to her thirds in the personal estate of the said Wil-
liam H. Dorsey. but that she shall be entitled to one third part of
the distributable estate thereof, after deducting therefrom the a-
mount of the proceeds of any sale of the real estate which may be
made by virtue and under the authority of this law, so that her in-
terest in the said distribution shall be the same as if this law had
not passed.
5. And whereas it may be necessary for the more just and equal
division of the real estate of the said William H. Dorsey, that
purchasers of lands contiguous and adjoining to the lands which
may have descended as aforesaid, should be effectuated, and that
therefore sales of other lands should be made; therefore, Be it en-
acted, That the said Richard B. Dorsey, with the assent of the
children of the said William H. Dorsey of full age as aforesaid,
witnessed as aforesaid, be and he is hereby authorised to sell and
dispose of such of the. real estate aforesaid, as they may deem most
advantageous for the interest of all, to be sold upon such terms
and credit as he may deem proper, and upon the payment of the
purchase money therefor, to execute a deed or deeds to the pur-
chaser, conveying all the right, title and estate, aforesaid, and
from the proceeds of such lands to purchase lands lying contiguous
as aforesaid, and which they may deem as aforesaid necessary for
a just and equal division of the real estate aforesaid, and to take
deeds for the same to the children of the said William H. Dorsey,
and which said lands, when so as aforesaid purchased, shall be
considered as a part of the real estate of the said William H. Dor-
sey, and as such subject to division, according to the laws of this
state, among the children of the said William H. Dorsey.
