Mr. Worthington, from the committee, delivers to
the speaker a bill, entitled, An act respecting WE cannot at present determine the precise period when the session can be closed, but feel confident that it cannot be terminated by so early a day as Thursday next. We are endeavouring to complete the business before us, and hope we shall be able to conclude the session by Saturday next. The determination of the senate to act upon no private business after Wednesday is communicated to us at so late a period that we fear injustice might be done to individuals if rigidly adhered to. We shall send no business of that description to your house unless we think it may at this session require the interposition of the legislature. We flatter ourselves that a sense of public duty will enforce the attendance of the members of the senate until the session can with propriety be closed. By order, W. HARWOOD, clk.
