An Act for the relief of Joseph Andrews, of the county of Warren

Whereas Joseph Andrews, a native of Great Britain, on the first day
of December 1818, received from Jacob Mordicai, a deed, conveying to
the said Joseph Andrews and his heirs forever, an interest in lots 
in the town of Warrenton, in Warren county, known in the plan of
said town by the numbers, one hundred and seven; one hundred and
eight, one hundred and nine, one hundred and ten, and one hundred
and eleven; and also a piece of land in said county, adjacent to
said lots, containing three and one third acres; and the said Joseph
Andrews, not having been at that time naturalized, nor entitled under
the constitution of this State to purchase lands, said lots and land
have become forfeited to the State; and it appearing to this Legislature
that previous to such purchase, the said Joseph Andrews had made the
declaration and oath, preparatory to becoming a citizen of the United
States, and that he hath since been duly naturalized,

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 all the
right, title, interest, and claim which the State of North Carolina
hath or might have in and to the said lots and land aforesaid, by 
reason or on account of the purchase thereof by the said Joseph Andrews,
is hereby granted and released to the said Joseph Andrews, his heirs
and assigns; and the title to said lots and land is hereby confirmed
to the said Joseph Andrews, his heirs and assigns; his disability of
alienage at the time of said purchase to the contrary notwithstanding.
