46            VOTES and PROCEEDINGS, November Session, 1800.

By the HOUSE of DELEGATES, December 19, 1800.

    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 securities 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 order,                                                    W.  HARWOOD, clk.
    Which were severally read the first time and ordered to lie on the table.
The following message and bill therein mentioned.
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.
Also the following message:
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 a 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.
    Which were read.
And returns the bill, entitled, An act to incorporate the trustees of the Baltimore and Harford academy, endorsed;
" By the house of delegates, December 17, 1800: Read the first time and ordered to lie on the table.
                                                            " By order,                                                  W.  HARWOOD, clk.
" By the house of delegates, December 19, 1800:  Read the second time and will not pass.
                                                            " By order,                                                  W.  HARWOOD, clk."
And the paper bills No. 11, 28, 54, 69 and 78, severally endorsed; " By the house of delegates, December 19,
" 1800:  The engrossed bill whereof this is the original read and assented to.
                                                            " By order,                                                  W.  HARWOOD, clk."
    The additional supplement to an act, entitled, An act foe the relief of sundry insolvent debtors, the bill to
revive and continue the acts of assembly therein mentioned, the amendments thereto, the resolution respecting
the opening of a communication from Cumberland to the western counties of Pennsylvania, Virginia, and the
North Western Territory, the amendment thereto, the resolution in favour of the examiner-general of the western
shore, the resolution in favour of Robert Long, and the paper bills from No. 1 to No. 77, inclusive, except
No. 11, 28, 54, 69 and 78, were sent to the house of delegates by the clerk.
    The resolution in favour of the securities of William S. Bond, was read the second time by especial order and
assented to with the proposed amendments.
    Amendments proposed.  After the word "that" in the third line strike out " all proceedings heretofore had
and now pending," and insert " after judgment obtained, all further proceedings."  At the end of the resolve
add, " provided the said Booker, and others, shall, on or before the first day of November next, pay into the
treasury, or to the agent of the state, all interest then due, and costs of suit."
    The resolution in favour of the securities of Dennis Griffith, was read the second time by especial order and
assented to.
    The senate proceeded to reconsider a bill to empower the judges of the court of appeals to reinstate the cause
of Job Garretson against Richard Cole, and the question was put, That the said bill do pass?  The yeas and
nays being required, appeared as follow:
A    F    F    I    R    M    A    T    I    V    E.
John Thomas, Esquire, president, Charles Carroll, of Carrollton, John Campbell, John Chesley, Charles Goldsborough,
junior, William Hemsley, junior, Philip Thomas, Esquires.        7.
N    E    G    A    T    I    V    E.
William Hammond Dorsey and David McMechen, Esquires.        2.
So it was determined in the affirmative.
    The clerk of the house of delegates delivers the following resolution:
