Resolved, therefore, That two hundred pounds common money,
out of the public treasury be advanced to Mr. Fielder Gaunt of
Frederick county, for the purposes mentioned in the said report,
for the term of one year, on his giving bond with sufficient security
to repay the same at the end of one year without interest; the se-
curity to be approved by the convention or council of safety here-
after to be appointed, and the bond to be made payable to Mr.
President, Mr. Carroll, barrister, and Mr. T. Johnson, jun.

On reading that part of the said report relating to the establish-
ment of a linen, woollen, and cotton manufactory, by Mr. Alex-
ander M'Fadon, the question was put, that the house concur with
the proposals of Mr. M'Fadon? Carried in the negative.

On reading the third paragraph of the said report, in which is
contained the proposal of Edward Parker of Cecil county, the ques-
tion was put, that the house concur therewith ? Resolved in the af-
firmative.

Resolved, therefore, That the sum of three hundred pounds, out
of the public treasury, be advanced to the said Edward Parker,
upon his giving bond with good security, for the delivery of the
value of two hundred pounds, in good, strong, merchantable linen
cloth, manufactured in this province, on or before the first day of
May next; and the value of one hundred pounds, in good, mer-
chantable linen or woollen cloth, manufactured in this province, on
the first day of November next, of such quality as he may be direct-
ed, and at such prices and rates as this or a future convention shall
allow.

On reading that part of the said report, which relates to the es-
tablishment of linen and woollen manufactories in each county in
this province, the question was put, that the house concur there-
with ? The counties were equally divided, and therefore the house
does not concur.

Mr. Mackall has leave of absence.

The convention adjourns till to-morrow morning half after nine
o'clock.
