A petition from Samuel Patterson Wallace, of Cæcil county, praying the treasurer may be directed to reimburse the caution money by him paid to affect a tract of land called Minor's Lot, was preferred, read, and referred to Mr. Worthington, Mr. Carroll and Mr. Hollingsworth, to consider and report thereon. Mr. Parnham, from the committee, brings in and delivers to the speaker the following report: THE committee to whom was referred the petition of Charles Mankin, of Charles county, beg leave to report, that they have taken the same into consideration, and see not just cause why the state should give up to the said Mankin the balance, which, from the agent's accounts, and from other vouchers, appears to be justly due to the state, but as the debt appears to be well secured, they would recommend the petitioner to the clemency of the legislature, and that all proceedings in law against him and his securities be suspended, provided he shall pat to the state's agent, on or before the tenth day of November next, one third part of the balance due from him, and one third part on the tenth day of November annually thereafter until the whole shall be paid up. All which is submitted to the house. By order, J. W. KING, clk. Which was read.
