in which it was stipulated, that all surplus money, after
defraying the expenses incident to said regulation, should be applied,
and were appropriated, to the use and benefit of the said
town of Bladensburgh; that after paying all the charges for receiving
and viewing of tobacco during the continuance of the said association,
a surplus of upwards of seventy pounds current money
was deposited in the hands of a certain Robert Dick, now deceased,
to be applied to the use of the town aforesaid: And whereas the
said surplus money, deposited in the hands of the said Robert Dick,
now remains in the hands of his executor, who is willing to pay the
same to any person or persons authorised to receive the same, in
order that it may be applied to the purposes for which it was raised
and intended; therefore, |
Certain money to
