of Virginia, that the important public business of this session of the general assembly
induced a delay in acting upon the amendments proposed to be made to the government of the
United States by the legislature of that commonwealth, with assurances that they will be taken
up at the next session of our assembly, and considered with the respect due to the communications of
a sister state, and with all the attention due to subjects of such importance and magnitude.
    Sent to the senate by the clerk.
    Mr. Hollingsworth, from the committee, brings in and delivers to the speaker the additional supplement
to an act, entitled, An act relating to public roads in this state, and to repeal the acts of
assembly therein mentioned, so far as relates to Cæcil, Talbot and Kent counties, as amended;

    The following message beng prepared, was sent to the senate, with the resolution in favour of
John Smith Brookes, by the clerk.
By the HOUSE of DELEGATES, December 27, 1796.
        GENTLEMEN OF THE SENATE,
    IN hopes that the circumstances attending the case of John Smith Brookes can be explained to
your satisfaction, we must reiterate our request for a reconsideration.  We flatter ourselves you will
not consider us unnecessarily importunate in this respect, but will be satisfied that the sending back
this resolution arises from a thorough conviction that your dissent, if insisted upon, may involve
the petitioner in ruin.
                                                        By order,                                W.  HARWOOD, clk.
