By the SENATE, December 24, 1796.
        GENTLEMEN,
    THE advanced stage of the session, and the inclemency of the weather, induce us to suggest to
you the propriety of closing the session at as early a period as possible, consistently with the interest
of the public.  We beg leave to suggest to you the expediency of acting upon such business only
as from its peculiar nature requires immediate attention, and to dispense with that which may be
postponed without public convenience.  With your concurrence we propose to rise on Tuesday next.
                                                            By order,                                    A.  VAN-HORN, clk.
Which was read.

tax, and the clerk of the commissioners, was read the second time, passed, and sent to the senate by
the clerk.

    THE committee to whom was referred the petition of Richard Alexander Contee, of Prince-George's
county, report, that they have taken the same into consideration, and find the facts therein
stated to be true, and, under the peculiar circumstances attending the petitioner's purchase from the
state, in this instance, are of opinion the state ought not to insist upon the specific execution of the
contract from the petitioner; and your committee beg leave to submit to the house the following
resolution, viz.
    RESOLVED, That Richard Alexander Contee be and he is hereby released from all claim the state
of Maryland may have for the deficiency in the purchase money of the lot of land in Baltimore-town,
late the property of Robert and James Christie, purchased by him from the agent of this
state, amounting to the sum of two hundred and fifty pounds current money.
                                                            By order,                                    J.  HARWOOD, clk.
