D A Y, December 27,
1796.
THE house met. Present the same members as
on yesterday. The proceedings of yesterday
were read.
Mr. Ridgely, from the committee, brings in and delivers
to the speaker the following report:
THE committee to whom was referred the petition of Robert
Long, of Baltimore county, report,
that after a mature consideration of the petition, and the vouchers laid
before them, they are of
opinion that the petitioner has a fair claim to a considerable deduction
from his bond in the treasury,
but from the complex nature of the subject, and the length of time which
would necessarily be consumed
in the proper investigation of the same, and which at this late period
of the session cannot be
conveniently given by the house, beg leave to suggest the propriety of
deferring the ultimate liquidation
of his claim until next session; and they are the more solicitous to adopt
this mode, when no
inconvenience can be sustained by the state, as the debt of the petitioner
bears interest, and is sufficiently
secured; they therefore submit the following resolution:
RESOLVED, That all proceedings against Robert Long,
and his securities for the sum due
this state on purchases made by him of the property of the late Principio
company, be suspended
until the next session of assembly.
All which is submitted to the house.
By order,
J. W. KING, clk.
