CHAPTER XXII.

An Act to vest the Title of a certain Lot therein mentioned in William 
Courtney, Esquire.

I. Whereas it hath been made to appear, to the satisfaction of the General 
Assembly, that William Courtney, esquire, of the town of Hillsborough, is 
justly intitled to a certain lot in the town aforesaid, commonly known by the 
name of the still-house lot, number 45, the same being a lot late the property 
of Young, Miller and Company; and the said Young, Miller and Company, who owed 
allegiance to this State, having departed the same, and joined the enemies of 
the United States, whereby their property hath by the laws of this State 
become forfeited to the same; and it being reasonable that the said lot should 
be protected from confiscation, and secured to the said William Courtney;

II. Be it therefore enacted by the General Assembly of the State of North 
Carolina, and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same, that Joshua 
Potts, John Ray, and James Carrington, commissioners for selling the 
confiscated property in the County of Orange, or any two of them, be, and they 
are hereby impowered and required to execute unto the said William Courtney, 
his heirs or assigns, a good and sufficient deed of conveyance for the same, 
he the said Courtney paying into their hands the balance which may appear to 
be due on the said contract; which proceedings, when had and done, shall be 
deemed sufficient in law to vest in him, his heirs and assigns, all the right 
and title which this State hath, or may have acquired, in and to the same, by 
confiscation, forfeiture, or otherwise; any law to the contrary 
notwithstanding.
