By the HOUSE of DELEGATES, December 5, 1796.
GENTLEMEN OF THE SENATE,
WE return you the resolution in favour of Valentine
Lynn, and hope that upon reconsideration
it will meet with your concurrence. The ground of your dissent, we
presume, was the want of
indifferent testimony to establish the fact of the petitioner's absence
from the state of Maryland. As
this testimony is now procured, we flatter ourselves all objections to
the relief prayed for will not be effectually
removed.
