Wednesday next, being the 5th Day of October; and that the Sheriff
of Baltimore County do attend this House on the said 5th Day of
October, and bring with him the original Poll taken at the late
Election of Delegates for the said County.
Ordered, That the Petitioners, and all Parties concerned, have
Summonses for Witnesses in Relation to the said Petition, upon
Application to the Clerk of this House for that Purpose.
His Excellency the Governor communicated to Mr. Speaker, the
following Message, viz.t
Gentlemen of the Lower House of Assembly,
I am sorry to inform you, that as I was this Day at Dinner, your
Serjeant came into my House and demanded to see my Secretary;
and on my asking him, Upon what Account He told me, That he
had Orders from your House to take him into Custody. I could not
help being at first much surprized at his Answer; but, recollecting
that your Serjeant is but just appointed, and concluding that he
must as yet be almost a Stranger to the Duty of his Office, I suppose
he must have behaved in this Manner without any Orders for so
doing: If that is the Case, I shall excuse him on the Consideration
abovementioned; but if he acted in this Manner by any Order of
your House, I can't but expect that the Reason of such an extraordi-
nary Proceeding, without any previous Application, will be com-
municated to me.
Hor.o Sharpe.
