Sec. 3. When said new county shall


have been so created, the Inhabitants thereof


shall cease to have any claim to, or interest


in the county buildings, and other public


property of every description, belonging to


said counties of Somerset and Worcester,


respectively, and shall be liable for their


proportionate shares of the then existing

according to the last assessment in said


counties, to be ascertained and appor-


tioned by the Circuit Court of Somerset


County, as to the debts and obligations


of said county, and by the Circuit Court


of Worcester County, as to the debts and


obligations of Worcester County, on the


petition of the County Commissioners of


the said counties, respectively; and the


property in each part of the said counties,


included in said new county, shall be bound


only for the share of the debts and obliga-


tions of the county from which it shall be


separated; and the Inhabitants of said new


county shall also pay the county taxes,


levied upon them at the time of the creation


of such new county, as if such new county


had not been created; and on the applica-


tion of twelve citizens of the proposed


county of Wicomico, the Surveyor of

of said petitioners.


Sec. 4. At the first general election,


held under this Constitution, the qualified


voters of said new county shall be entitled

the General Assembly, and all such county,


or other officers as this Constitution may


authorize, or require to be elected by other


counties of the State; a notice of such


election shall be given by the Sheriffs of


Worcester and Somerset Counties in the


manner now prescribed by Law; and in


case said new county shall be established,


as aforesaid, then the counties of Somerset


and Worcester shall be entitled to elect


but two Delegates each to the General


Assembly.


Sec. 5. The County of Wicomico, if


formed according to the provisions of this


Constitution, shall be embraced in the First


Judicial Circuit; and the times for holding
