patent line, thence north seventy-five degrees west ninety-one and a half 
chains with said line to a pine, thence about north twenty degrees west forty-
seven chains to an oak, thence south seventy-five degrees east ninety-one and 
an half chains to the first station; which said tract of land contains by 
estimation four hundred and thirty acres, and by unavoidable accident is 
destroyed or lost, whereby the title of the said land has become precarious; 
for remedy whereof

II. Be it Enacted by the General Assembly of the State of North Carolina, and 
it is hereby Enacted by the authority of the same, That so much of the said 
tract of land as has been not conveyed away in fee simple by said Richard 
Commingforth shall be and the same is hereby confirmed in and to the said 
Richard Commingforth, his heirs and assigns forever as fully to all 
constructions and intents whatever, as the same would have remained had the 
said grant not been lost or distroyed, and as if the said Richard Commingforth 
had the same now in his possession ready to be produced in defence and support 
of his title to the said land and in the same manner that so much of the said 
tract of land and every parcel thereof as has been legally conveyed away by 
the said Richard shall be, and is hereby confirmed to the grantees or 
bargainees of the said land in the same plight and condition, and with the 
same quantity of interest therein as is specified in the deed or deeds granted 
by the said Richard Commingforth for the same, and provided that such deed or 
deeds have been executed and made with all the solemnities necessary in law to 
the perfecting such deed or deeds, such deed or deeds shall be good and 
indefeasible in law, and shall be deemed to convey the interest therein 
specified in the same manner as if the grant above mentioned had never been 
lost or destroyed. Provided, That nothing herein shall be construed so as to 
extend the lines contained in the said patent, or to give title to any other 
land than what was included in the old marked or processioned lines of said 
patent.

Read three times, and ratified in General Assembly, the twenty-fifth day of 
November, Anno Domini one thousand seven hundred and eighty-four.
