Chap. XIX.— An Act to repeal so much of an act, passed the eighteenth April, one thousand eight hundred and six, as limits the price of certain lands in the state of Tennessee. Feb. 28, 1823. *Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, * Part of a land law of Tennessee of April 18, 1806, ch. 31, repealed. That so much of an act passed the eighteenth day of April, one thousand eight hundred and six, entitled “An act to authorize the state of Tennessee to issue grants and perfect titles to certain lands therein described, and to settle the claims to the vacant and unappropriated lands within the same,” which provides “that the lowest price of all lands granted or sold within the ceded territory shall be the same as shall be established by Congress for the lands of the United States,” be, and the same is hereby, repealed; and the legislature of the state of Tennessee are authorized and empowered to affix such price to the lands in said ceded territory, as, in their discretion, may be deemed right and proper; any tiling in said act of the eighteenth of April, one thousand eight hundred and six, to the contrary notwithstanding.
Approved, February 28, 1823.
