ington B. Chichester, Assistant Secretary to this Convention."
Mr. Brown, rose to the following point of order:
"If the proposition of the gentleman of Prince George's, be
considered as an amendment, and I deny that it is, it is out of
order, beeause it covers no more matter than the substitute offered
by the gentleman from Baltimore county, which has been adopted
by the Convention, there being no more matter to cover, and
which substitute could only be reached by a motion to reconsider."
