So it was resolved in the affirmative.
Sent to the senate by the clerk.
    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.
    On the second reading of the report on the petition of the proprietors of the Susquehanna canal,
the question was put, That the house assent to the following resolutions?
    RESOLVED, That George Gale, Samuel Hughes, James Carroll, Thomas Wallace, John
Stump, of Deer Creek, Jonathan Ellicott and William Moore, of Cæcil county, be appointed commissioners
to survey and make report to the next session of assembly on the situation of the river Susquehanna,
so far as relates to the navigation thereof, or the probability of making the same navigable,
particularly that part thereof lying below the Maryland line; and that the said commissioners
make out and return with their report an estimate of the sum of money which in their judgment it
would require to accomplish a purpose of such magnitude.
    RESOLVED, That the said commissioners, or a majority of them, shall state and annex to the said
report a statement of facts for the information of the general assembly.
    Determined in the negative.
The house adjourns till Monday morning 9 o'clock.

M    O    N    D    A    Y,    December 26, 1796.

    THE house met.  Present the same members as on Saturday.  The proceedings of Saturday
were read.
    Mr. Hollingsworth, from the committee, brings in and delivers to the speaker the following report:
    THE committee to whom was referred the petition of Samuel Patterson Wallace, of Cæcil
county, report, that they find the allegations made in said petition to be true, and are of opinion
that the petition ought to be granted; they therefore suggest the following resolution:
    RESOLVED, That the treasurer of the western shore be and he is hereby authorised and directed to
