CHAP. CLII.

A Supplement to the Act directing Descents.

of a part of the real estate of intestates, not taken by election,
where a part has been so taken;
: 1. Be it enacted, by the General Assembly of Maryland, That in all
cases which have occurred, or may hereafter occur, in proceedings
under the act directing descents, and its supplements, wherein the

not so taken, that the several county courts shall have the same
power to order a sale of the part not taken by election, as they
have to order the sale of the whole of any such estate when no part
thereof is so taken, and all proceedings relative to a part not taken
by election shall be the same as they are in cases where no part is
so taken.
