ReSOLVED, That all further proceedings against the securities
of Dennis Griffith be suspended until the first
day of January, eighteen hundred and three, provided the said shall, on
or before the first day of July
next, pay all the interest due on the debt, and provided they shall annually,
during said suspension, from the said
first day of July, pay the accruing interest.
BY the HOUSE of DELEGATES, December 19, 1800.
GENTLEMEN OF THE SENATE,
THE resolution in favour of the securities of Dennis
Griffith we were induced to pass, from a conviction the
money loaned by the state has been applied to a useful public object;
under this impression, a former legislature
has interfered, and granted indulgence to the principal for the payment
of the money; during the suspension,
he, and one of his securities, have become insolvent; those circumstances
have placed the residue of the securities
in a very different situation from that in which they originally stood;
their property is now under execution,
and must be sold at public sale by the sheriff; this will prove ruinous
to part of the securities, without advancing
the true interest of the state. we have presumed to call your attention
to the subject, and herewith transmit a
resolution securing the payment of the interest due, and the accruing interest.
By order,
W. HARWOOD, clk.
The following message being prepared, was read, agreed
to, and sent to the senate, with the bill to empower
the judges of the court of appeals to reinstate the cause of Job Garretson
against Richard Cole, by the clerk.
BY the HOUSE of DELEGATES, December 19, 1800.
GENTLEMEN OF THE SENATE,
VIEWING, as we do, the determination of the court of
appeals in the case of Garretson against Cole as involving,
in an extreme degree, the interests of the citizens of this state holding
real property, and believing,
from the letter of the chief judge, that the court with the cause reinstated,
we are induced to solicit a reconsideration
of the bill, entitled, An act to empower the judges of the court of appeals
to reinstate the cause of Job
Garretson against Richard Cole, and hope, on again examining its merits,
you will pass the same.
By order,
W. HARWOOD, clk.
The engrossed bills, No. 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84 and
85, were read and assented to, and sent to the senate, with
the paper bills thereof by the clerk.
