COMPILER’S NOTE: This Act was subsequently amended by Acts of 1815, Chapter 86, which substituted John M’Gowan, of Warren County, in the place of Alexander Perryman, who failed to carry out his assignment as set forth above.

1. That from and after the passage of this act the dividing line between the counties of Franklin and Warren, shall be continued from the place where the present dividing line between said counties crosses the main road leading from Winchester to M'Minnville, near Henry Avants, in a direct course until it strikes Bedford county line, at the place where said Bedford county line crosses the old Nickejack trace, thence this boundary line of Warren county, shall run with the boundarry [sic] lines of Bedford and Rutherford counties, until it intersects the present boundary line of Warren county, and all that part of Franklin county, stricken off by the before mentioned lines, shall be attached to, and become a part of Warren county: Provided, that nothing herein contained, shall be so construed as to prevent the sheriff of Franklin county from collecting any arrearages of taxes which may be due to county of Franklin, within the before described bounds.
