Page "East New Market, Maryland" Paragraph 19

1805 saw the State Legislature empowered the Levy Court for Dorchester County to appoint a bailiff for " New-Market " specifying qualifications for the office and enumerating powers and the extent of jurisdiction which was to extend three miles from the limits of the " village ".

( LAWS OF MARYLAND, NOVEMBER 1804 ~ ROBERT BOWIE, ESQUIRE, GOVERNOR, CHAP, LXX ; Passed January 19, 1805 ) Here again the term of art references " limits " which are used only in incorporated towns and must exist to specify jurisdictional limits and the points from which they may extend.
