  1. Every Surveyor shall make such alterations in
    his plan as may be ordered by the Court. No lien of
    any Surveyor shall be recognized, nor any assistance
    given to him with respect to his charges, unless he
    shall have claimed the assistance of the Court as pro-
    vided by the Act.

Witness my hand, this eighth day of January,
one thousand eight hundred and seventy-
