Whereas the county commissioners of the county of Warren and state of Illinois, surveyed and laid out the town of Monmouth in the year 1831, and again they surveyed said town in 1834, by running streets and making additional blocks and lots in said town, and again they have run streets through the remaining out-lots in 1836, so as to make a greater number of blocks than heretofore; therefore,

Sec.[Section] 1. Be it enacted by the people of the State of Illinois, represented in the General Assembly, That the county commissioners of the county of Warren and State of Illinois, sitting as a county commissioners court, either at a regular term or a special term of said court, shall have power, and they as a court may re-number the blocks and lots in said town of Monmouth, so as to correspond with the survey of 1836, Provided, The purchasers have and obtain a deed for the same quantity of ground and lying in the same part of the town sold, although the block and number of lot may be changed by said survey.

Sec. 2. The said court shall file and record in their own court record, and also, in the recorder’s office in the county of Warren said resurvey, after which the court, by their commissioner, shall convey the lots as last surveyed, which conveyance shall be as valid to all intents and purposes as if said town had never been resurveyed.

Sec. 3. If the said court have made deeds as a court, or, by or through their commissioner to make deeds, have conveyed any lot or lots in such town of Monmouth, to any person or persons as surveyed and recorded in 1831 or 1834, the same shall be to all intents and purposes as good and sufficient as though this law had not passed.
