The question was then put, That the deputies from this state to
the continental congress be each allowed the sum of twelve pounds
ten shillings common money per week, and no more, from the
time they leave home until their return? and resolved in the affir-
mative.

On motion of Mr. T. Ringgold, the question was put, That the
members of the present and future conventions of this state be al-
lowed ten shillings per day for their attendance, besides the usual
itinerant charges, any resolve of a former convention to the con-
trary notwithstanding.
