Fork Creek to the Kentucky line, shall be and compose part of the county of Montgomery, and
the citizens residing therein shall be entitled to all the rights and privileges of other citizens of
Montgomery County, and subject to the same pains and penalties thereof; provided, that nothing
in this act shall prevent the sheriffs, or any other officer in the county of Robertson, from
