Resolved that M^r Archibald Campbell be required immedi-
ately to attend this Committee, to answer unto the matter
wherewith charged.
Whereupon M^r Archibald Campbell appearing, Doctor
Henry Reeder, was, by and in the presence of the said Archi-
bald examined relative to the complaint as aforesaid made.
Who proved the fact as alleged to the general satisfaction of
the Committee. Who thereupon proceed (after having first
heard what M^r Campbell had to offer in his defence) to take
into their consideration, the tendency of such a proceedure,
which upon being fully debated, duly weighed & maturely
considered was almost unanimously judged to be a manifest
violation of the sixth Resolve of the Provincial Convention
held at Annapolis by adjournment on the eighth day of Decem-
ber Seventeen hundred and seventy four.
And therefore Resolved for ourselves & Constituents, that
no Gentleman of the Law, from this time forward ought to
bring or prosecute any suit for any debt due to the Store of
Jn^o Glassford Esquire & Company at Leonard Town of which
the said Factor M^r Archibald Campbell has the management.
Resolved also that the proceedings against the said Archibald
Campbell, be published in the Maryland Gazette to the intent,
that all persons concerned may have due notice thereof.
At the same time upon complaint made by Capt. George
Cooke against M^r William Lilburn Factor for M^r James Buch-
anan & Company at their Store at St. Inegoes warehouse for
acting in a similar manner, which the said William Lilburn
here present admits to be true.
Resolved that the said Lilburn has violated the aforesaid
Resolve, and that he also be published in the Maryland
Gazette, to the intent as aforesaid.
In Testimony that the aforegoing is a true Copy taken from
the minutes kept for the Committee for the County of S^t

Mary's, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty second day
of July Annoque Domini seventeen hundred and seventy five.
