town did not comply with the directions and requisitions in said act, whereby the
same became null and void; that they were desirous of annexing the said parcel
of land to the said town, and therefore prayed that a law might pass for that
purpose:  And it appearing to this general assembly, that to extend the limits of
said town would contribute to promote the trade and commerce thereof.

1781.

 XXIV.

    II.  Be it therefore enacted, by the general assembly of Maryland, That the
commissioners of Baltimore-town, or the major part of them, do, and they are
hereby directed and required, at any time before the first day of July next, to
cause the aforesaid parcel of land to be surveyed, and laid out into lots, streets, lanes
and alleys, at the proper costs and expences of the said John Moale and Andrew
Stigar, according to their respective number of acres, in such manner as to the
said commissioners, or the major part of them, shall seem convenient; and that
when the same shall be done, the said parcel of land shall be, and is hereby declared
to be, part of Baltimore-town aforesaid, to all intents and purposes, as
fully and amply as if originally included therein, and have the same immunities
and privileges as the said town, by any law or laws heretofore made, ought to
have.
Commissioners
to cause
land to be surveyed,
&c.
    III.  And be it enacted, That the commissioners aforesaid shall, on or before
the first day of September next, cause their proceedings to be recorded among the
records of said town, there to remain as evidence of the boundaries, situation and
location, of said lots, and of the streets, lanes and alleys, aforesaid.
Proceedings
to be recorded,
&c.
    IV.  And, whereas William Fell, of Baltimore-town, by his humble petition
to this general assembly, hath set forth, that he is seized and possessed of great part
of a tract of land called Fell's Prospect, part of which hath been heretofore laid
out into lots, and annexed to Baltimore-town, which said lots have been built
upon and considerable improved; and that it would greatly tend to the advantage
of the said town, in case the remaining part of the said tract of land was laid out
into convenient streets, lanes and alleys, and therefore prayed a law might
pass for that purpose; and it appearing to this general assembly, that to extend
the limits of the said town would contribute to promote the trade and commerce
thereof: Be it enacted, That the commissioners of Baltimore-town, or the major
part of them, be authorised and required, at any time before the first day of
May next, to cause the aforesaid tract of land, or such part thereof as they may
think necessary (not already incorporated and made part of the town aforesaid) to
be surveyed, and laid out into lots, streets, lanes and alleys, at the proper cost
and expence of the said William Fell, in such manner as to the said commissioners,
or a major part of them, shall seem convenient.

survey and plot to be made of the said land, and of all the lots, streets, lanes and
alleys, which are now laid out on the same, and which shall be laid out in virtue
of this act; and the said plot shall be recorded amongst the records of the said
town, as soon as conveniently may be thereafter, there to remain as evidence of
the boundaries, situation and location, of the said lots, and of the streets, lanes
and alleys; which said streets, lanes and alleys, hereafter to be laid out in pursuance
of this act, shall be highways, and be so deemed and taken to all intents
and purposes whatever; and when the same shall be done, the said land, so surveyed
and laid out, shall be, and is hereby declared to be, part of Baltimore-town,
as fully and amply as if included originally therein, and shall have the same immunities
and privileges as the rest of the said town has, or by former laws ought
to have, saving to the state of Maryland, and all bodies politic and corporate, and
all persons not mentioned in this act, their several and respective rights.
