    Mr. Duckett, from the committee, brings in and delivers to the speaker the following report:
    THE committee to whom was referred the memorial of William Kilty, guardian to the children
of the late John Rogers, beg leave to report, that they have considered the said memorial,
and are of opinion that the facts therein respecting the real estate are correctly stated.  The
committee have reason to believe, that the annual produce of the said real estate, allowing for
the expence of unavoidable repairs, is considerably less than the probable amount of interest on
the sales, and that the land in Prince-George's county is daily growing worse, by being rented
out, and by the use of the timber and wood which is thereby consumed.  The committee are induced
to believe that the children, as far as they are capable of judging, are desirous that a sale
and division should take place, more especially as one of them is settled, and has received a proportion
of the personal estate; they are therefore of opinion that the sale of the real estate, as
proposed by the memorialist, is reasonable, and would be for the advantage of the children, and
they recommend that an act should pass for that purpose, either directing and prescribing the
terms of sale, or authorising the chancellor, on application, to direct a sale of the said real estate,
in such manner as he may judge proper.  All which is submitted to the house.
                                                            By order,                                R. K.  WATTS, clk.
Which was read.
    Mr. Key, from the committee, brings in and delivers to the speaker the following report:
    THE committee to whom was referred the memorial of the proprietors of the Susquehanna
canal company, report, that they have examined the same, and received full information on the
subject from gentlemen belonging to the company; the committee are of opinion that the opening
the navigation of the river is an object of immense magnitude and importance to the citizens
of this state; that great accumulation of wealth, power and commerce, must necessarily result 
therefrom, as well to the state considered as an independent sovereign power, as to the citizens
thereof; that the public spirit and active exertions of the company have already greatly contributed
tot he success of the undertaking, but now nearly exhausted, they have applied for public
patronage, without which the object will be greatly retarded, if not totally defeated.  Your
committee are of opinion that an extension of the shares of the Susquehanna canal company would
be proper, and an advance of money, by way of loan, and recommend leave to bring in a bill for
that purpose.
                                                            By order,                                R. K.  WATTS, clk.
    Which was read the first and second time, concurred with, and leave given to bring in a bill
pursuant thereto.  ORDERED, That the committee appointed on the said petition prepare and
bring in the same.
    Mr. Buchanan, from the committee, brings in and delivers to the speaker a bill, entitled, A

    ORDERED, That the said bill have a second reading on to-morrow.
