Passed Jan 20
— of the heirs
of John Neptune.

No. 5.
RESOLVED, That the register of the land office for the western shore, be
and he is hereby directed, to receive into his office the patent heretofore issued
to William M'Mahon, of Allegany county, for a tract of land called "The
Flowry Meads." bearing date the tenth day of September seventeen hundred
and ninety six, containing two thousand and seventeen acres, one moiety of
which land now belongs to the heirs of said John Neptune, deceased, the other
part to sundry other persons; that in the certificate of the said patent there is an
error in one of the lines which throws the whole tract into confusion; at the
end of the hundred and forty-fourth line of said tract, the call is made to the
end of the first line of lot No. 3794, whereas it ought to have been made to the
end of the first line of lot No. 3749, which latter call, had it been made, would
have gratified both course and distance as mentioned in the patent, and the oth-
er call takes the line directly the reverse of the course mentioned, and upwards
of five hundred perches further than it ought to go, which error appears to
have been committed by the then county surveyor in making out his certifi-
cate and return of the survey. All persons concerned in slid land are desirous
to have the error corrected, therefore the register of the land office for the
western shore is directed to correct the record book in which the said patent
hath been recorded, so as to correspond with the said patent when so amended,
and the error therein corrected as aforesaid, and also to correct the certificate
of the surveyor who made the survey of the land aforesaid, and also correct the
record of said certificate so that it may correspond with the patent aforesaid as
amended; and that the said heirs of John Neptune deceased, and all other per-
sons owning any part of said tract of land, shall have the same right and title to
the said land and premises, mentioned in the said patent so amended, as if the
error had never been committed in the original certificate; Provided always,
that the passage of this resolution shall not affect the title of any person or per-
sons having acquired a just title to the land, or any part thereof, prior to the
passage of this resolution.

Passed Feb. 1

M'Kenzie.
