By the HOUSE of DELEGATES, December 27, 1799.
        GENTLEMEN OF THE SENATE,
    WE cannot assent to the amendments proposed to the bill, entitled, An act to regulate public
ferries, because they change and introduce principles in direct violation of private rights.  The
laws now in force are uncertain and inexplicit.  The property and rights of citizens to an amount
exceeding twenty thousand dollars per annum is at stake; and under this impression we solicit an
early conference with you on this interesting business, and have appointed Mr. Digges, Mr. Key,
Mr. Edmondson, Mr. Carroll and Mr. Duckett, to join such gentlemen as you may appoint conferrees
on this subject.
                                                        By order,                                  W.  HARWOOD, clk.
Which were severally read, and the bills and resolution ordered to lie on the table.
    The clerk of the house of delegates delivers to the clerk of the senate the bill, entitled, An act
to incorporate the Roman catholic congregation in Cob Neck, in Charles county, thus endorsed;
" By the house of delegates, December 16, 1799:  Read the first time and ordered to lie on the
" table.
                                                        " By order,                                W.  HARWOOD, clk.
" By the house of delegates, December 27, 1799:  Read the second time and will pass.
                                                        " By order,                                W.  HARWOOD, clk."
Which said bill was ordered to be engrossed.
    The bill, entitled, An act to establish an academy at Easton, in Talbot county, was read the
second time by especial order and will pass.
    On motion, ORDERED, That Mr. Hammond, Mr. Dennis, Mr. Dorsey, Mr. McMechen and
Mr. Goldsborough, be a committee to consider on, and report an answer to, the message respecting
the bill, entitled, An act to regulate public ferries.
    The bill, entitled, An act to authorise the laying out a public road from Thomas Under Hill's
