VOTES and PROCEEDINGS, November, 1799.            9

accelerate the business of the session; your discriminating these subjects from the case of Mr.
Harford, and refusing to confer on them, appears to us a measure that will involve much delay,
and, we fear, much contrariety of sentiment in the discussion.  Had the senate been pleased to
give their reasons for this discrimination, perhaps their cogency might have produced complete
conviction on our minds, but as you have also omitted this, we shall at present decline any conference,
except on the terms of our former message.  We however cannot forbear to hope, that
upon a reconsideration you will agree with us in opinion, and consent to the conference as
originally proposed.
                                                        By order,                                  W.  HARWOOD, clk.
Which said bills and message were severally read, and the bills ordered to lie on the table.

The house adjourns until to-morrow morning 10 o'clock.

has set forth, that he is possessed of a certain tract of land called Chance, upon which he has

virtue of a commission obtained from teh county court of Somerset, a vacancy was discovered,
upon which are the said improvements. but which said vacancy, he, the said Twilly, has

this general assembly to release him from the payment of seventeen pounds six shillings and nine-pence,
