CHAPTER XXXVIII.

An Act Vesting Certain Property Lying and Being in Granville County in Mary 
Alston Bell, in Fee Simple.

Whereas it is represented to this General Assembly, that in the year one 
thousand seven hundred and seventy-five, a gift was made by George Alston to 
Mary Alston Bell of certain lands and one negro boy named Caesar, which in the 
opinion of some of the citizens of this State have since become confiscated: 
For prevention of which,

I. Be it Enacted by the General Assembly of the State of North Carolina, and 
by the authority thereof, That the title of certain tracts of land in 
Granville county, which the said Alston purchased of Malachi Reaves and Anne 
Hopkins about two hundred and seventy acres, and also a certain negro named 
Caesar, be and is hereby vested in the said Mary Alston Bell, her heirs and 
assigns forever, any law to the contrary notwithstanding; saving nevertheless 
to all persons, all rights to the property aforesaid not claimed under the 
said George Alston. (Passed December 29, 1785.)
