ADDITIONAL TRUSTEES APPOINTED, 1791.
An act to amend an act, entitled, An Act for erecting an academy at the town of Warrenton, in the district of Halifax, passed at Fayetteville, in the year 1786.
Whereas it is represented to this General Assembly, that a majority of the trustees appointed by the above recited act, live at so great a distance from the town of Warrenton, a number sufficient to constitute a quorum to do business, cannot attend at the times appointed for the meeting of the trustees, whereby many disadvantages arise, and the education of youth much diminished: For remedy whereof,
I.  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 from and after the passing of this act, John Faulcon, William Alston, William Green, Thomas Alston, James Paine, Thomas Miller, Henry Montford, Thomas Glouster, Marmaduke Johnston, William Eaton Johnston, Daniel Anderson, Robert Freeman, James Turner and James Collier, be and they are hereby constituted and appointed Trustees to the said academy, erected at the town of Warrenton, in addition to those appointed by the before recited act; and they are hereby vested with the same powers and authorities as those expressly named in and by the said act.
II.  And be it further enacted, That so much of the said recited act as comes within the purview and meaning of this act, is hereby repealed and made void.
