The Board after taking the above under Consideration &
also that by the Farmers' Instructions they are to make a
Settlement with the Rent Roll Keepers on or before the first
Day of February which they frequently neglect to do by reason
of the Inclemency of the season, Sickness &c do determine to
alter the Time of settling with the Agent, which in future shall
be on or before the 29th Day of September Annually; and for
the sake of Regularity Mr Jordan is again required to pass an
Account on the 29th Day of September next for all Transac-
tions in his Office preceding the 25th Day of March last.
It having been made appear to the Board that a Resurvey
has been made on St Clement's Manor lying in St Mary's
County in consequence of which, the whole has ever since
been charg'd under new Rents, that is a 4/ p 100 acres, tho'
before under the Rent of only 2s/ p 100 acres; and it also
appearing that many Persons who hold part thereof under
conveyances long before the said Resurvey was obtained and
from which they reaped no Benefit, not having been concern'd
therein. It is ordered that an allowance be made to George
Lee Esqr late Farmer, and Jonathan Abell, present Farmer of
said County for such Sums as they shall have been answerable
for by reason of the Charge aforesaid; the owners of the
Lands holding under former conveyances having refused to
pay them more than at the Rate of 2s/ p 100 acres under
which they made their several Purchases.
