them shall seem convenient; and that when the same shall be so done, the said
thirty-five acres of land shall be, and are hereby declared to be part of Baltimore-town

originally therein, and have the same immunities and privileges as the rest of the
said town, by any law or laws heretofore made or hereafter to be made, ought to
have.  And any person or persons who shall build or improve on the said thirty-five
acres of land, after the same shall be laid out into lots, as by former laws relating

proprietors, shall have such estate as they shall contract for and purchase, in any
lot or lots so purchased and built on; but the purchaser or purchasers of any part

advice and consent of his lordship's governor, and the upper and lower houses
of assembly, and the authority of the same, That the debt or damage which
shall or may become due, or arise upon or from the non-payment of any inland
bill of exchange, order or negotiable note, which shall or may be drawn or passed
