30            VOTES and PROCEEDINGS, November Session, 1800.

during the late revolutionary war, was lieutenant-colonel of the first regiment raised by this state, from which
service he was compelled to retire by the infirmities peculiarly incident to a military life in these climates,) has,
by reason of his said infirm health, and misfortunes arising from those acts of benevolence which the duties of
society often render indispensable, and not by imprudence or want of due economy, become reduced to extreme
indigence in his advanced age; and it being unworthy, (both in example and principle,) of the citizens of a free
republic, to desert, in their distress, those of their fellow-citizens who have rendered important services in distinguished
stations, whilst high honours and great rewards attend public services in other forms of government;
RESOLVED unanimously, That there be granted to the said Francis Ware half pay as lieutenant-colonel, (rated
according to the establishment when he retired from service,) from the date of this resolution, and during the
remainder of his life; and that the treasurer of the western shore be and he is hereby authorised and directed to
pay the same to the said Francis Ware in quarterly payments.
                                                            By order,                                                    W.  HARWOOD, clk.

By the HOUSE of DELEGATES, December 10, 1800.
    Whereas it appears to this general assembly, that Randolph Brandt Latimer, agent to the state, did, on the
fifteenth day of December, seventeen hundred and ninety-five, sell to Robert Courtenay a tract of land called
Part of Carroll's Scrutiny, lying in Baltimore county, containing five hundred and seventy-six acres, for the sum
of two thousand six hundred and forty-six pounds:  And whereas by a correct survey made by the surveyor of
Baltimore county, it appears there was a deficiency of twelve acres, the loss of which, and correcting the
variation, by allowing one degree for twenty years, has entirely deprived the said Courtenay of the benefit of
two fisheries and landings on navigable water:  And whereas it appears that the survey made by the commissioners
of confiscated property, by which the land was sold, did include the said fisheries and landings, and that
the said Courtenay purchased under an expectation of having the benefit of the same; therefore, RESOLVED,
That the chancellor be and he is hereby authorised and required to inquire into the facts set forth in the petition
of the said Robert Courtenay, and if the said facts are established to his satisfaction, that he direct, in such
manner as he may see right and proper, the damages to be ascertained which the said Robert Courtenay hath
sustained; and that on the said damages being so ascertained, and presented to the treasurer of the western shore,
he pay the amount thereof to the said Robert Courtenay.
                                                            By order,                                                    W.  HARWOOD, clk.

" By the house of delegates, December 10, 1800:  Read the second time and assented to.
                                                            " By order,                                                    W.  HARWOOD, clk."
    The following message was prepared, read and agreed to.
By the SENATE, December 11, 1800.
        GENTLEMEN,
    WE have, during the present session,  imposed a very arduous and disagreeable duty upon the chancellor, in
relation to insolvent applicants.  We are impressed with an opinion, that for those services, distinct from the
general duties of this office, compensation ought to be made.  Not possessing constitutional power to originate any
law appropriating money in the treasury, we beg leave to call your attention to this subject, and hope there will
be an union of sentiment upon it.
                                                            By order,                                                    W. S.  GREEN, clk.
