tions:
WHEREAS, it is a matter of great importance that there
should be a prompt and faithful attendance of the members
and officers of this Convention, for the performance of the du-
ties entrusted to them hi their respective committees, as well
as during the sessions of this body;
Therefore, be it resolved, That hereafter no member or
officer of this Convention shall receive any per diem for such
time as he may be absent from the said Convention; and that
the President is hereby directed and required, in giving a cer-
tificate of payment to such member or officer, to deduct from
his account such time as he may have been absent, unless oc-
casioned by actual indisposition, or some other unavoidable
circumstance.
Resolved, That for the purpose of ascertaining the time lost
by the members and officers the Secretary of this Convention
be required to keep a weekly list, on which he shall note the
respective days when each of said members or officers shall
bo absent, and file the same, weekly with the Clerk of the Com-
mittee of Accounts, who shall deduct the same from the
allowance of each member and officer, so that, at the end of
the session, the number of days each member or officer has
been absent, except from actual indisposition or other una-
voidable cause, may be ascertained and entered upon the Jour-
nal of Proceedings.
Reserved, That every member shall be considered and noted
us absent unless his name be entered on the Journal at the
opening of each day's session, and also entered among the
the yeas and nays, that shall be taken on every proposition to
adjourn, unless his absence be occasioned by actual indisposi-
tion or other unavoidable circumstance.
Which were read.
