of assembly.

    RESOLVED, That if any of the holders of bills of credit emitted in virtue of the act of June session,

prepared for the discharge of their claims.
    On the second reading the bill to appoint an agent for the year 1797, the question was put, That
the following clause be received as an amendment to the said bill?  " And be it enacted, That no
payment in future by any officer or person indebted to the state shall be valid and effectual unless
made to the treasurer of the western shore or eastern shores, or to the agent for the time being, or unless
made to the clerks and sheriffs of the several counties, in the cases where the said clerks and sheriffs
are by law authorised to receive the same."  Resolved in the affirmative.
    The bill being read throughout, the question was put, That the said bill do pass?  Resolved in
the affirmative.
    The clerk of the senate delivers the following message:
By the SENATE, December 27, 1796.
        GENTLEMEN,
    WE are using every exertion to finish the business now before us, and expect to rise on Thursday
next.  The difficulty in transacting business to advantage at this advanced and inclement season of
the year, and the great expence already incurred by the state from the length of this session, induce
us to concur with you in the proposition contained in your message for rising on Thursday next.
                                                            By order,                                    A.  VAN-HORN, clk.
Which was read.
The house adjourns till 5 o'clock.

    The report on the petition of Joseph Wallace was read the second time, and the resolution therein
contained assented to, and sent to the senate by the clerk.
    Mr. Jones, from the committee, brings in and delivers to the speaker the following report:
    THE committee appointed to tax the costs on the petition of Christopher Hughes, and others, of
Baltimore-town, beg leave to report, that there is due to:
