[missing title] 1849 Vol. 1 -- Page: 12 Sequential Number: 006 Full Title: AN ACT for the relief of James King, of the county of Cherokee, and to appropriate certain monies for the benefit of certain persons therein named. WHEREAS James King, of the county of Cherokee, in compliance with the provisions of the act relating to reverted lands, assented to December 28th, 1842, made application for the grant to lot number twenty-four, in the second District and the second section of Cherokee county: And whereas, at the time of said application, it appeared by the entries in the books of the Executive Office, that the grant to said lot of land had issued: and whereas said lot was subsequently granted as a reverted lot, whereby the Treasury of the State received twenty-two and a half dollars more than would have been paid in had the grant issued to the said James King, the rightful owner of said lot: Page: 13 SECTION 1. Be it therefore enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Georgia in General Assembly met, and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same, That his Excellency the Governor be, and he is hereby authorized to draw his warrant on the Treasury for the said sum of twenty- two and a half dollars, in favor of said James King. SECTION 2. And be it further enacted, That the sum of four hundred and fifty dollars be, and is hereby appropriated to the Rev. George White in payment for one hundred and fifty copies of "White's Statistics," which his Excellency the Governor was authorized to subscribe by a resolution passed the last General Assembly. SECTION 3. And be it further enacted, That James Alford, of Fayette county, be, and he is hereby relieved from the payment of the residue of a judgment against him in favor of the Central Bank of Georgia, which judgment was and is founded upon his endorsement of the note of James Sudduth, the principal according to the face of the said note together with the interest thereon having already been paid off and discharged. SECTION 4. And be it further enacted, That the sum of forty dollars and twenty-six cents be paid to Deleware Morris, out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated; it being the principal and interest of the amount paid the State for the purchase of lot number one hundred and ten in the ninth district of Hall county, sold by the Commissioners of the State in conformity with the act of the General Assembly passed December 22d, 1827, entitled an act to dispose of the residue of lands heretofore reserved for the use of the State, at which sale Charles F. Betton became the purchaser, and the certificate of purchase has been for a valuable consideration transferred to Deleware Morris, but to which land the said Betton or Morris have never been able to obtain a grant, it having been previously granted by the State to one Edward Horne, of Campbell's district, Morgan county, and evidently sold by mistake; and that the Governor issue his warrant for said amount. SECTION 5. And be it further enacted, That the Governor draw his warrant on the Treasury, in favor of James M. Wayne, President of the Georgia Historical Society, for the sum of six hundred dollars, to defray the expense of procuring transcripts of certain colonial records which they tender to the State. Approval Date: Approved, February 8th, 1850.
