Mr. Ridgely, from the committee, brings in and delivers
to the speaker the following report:
THE committee to whom was referred the memorial
of the stockholders of the Baltimore insurance
company have taken the same into consideration, and beg leave to report,
that as it is discovered
by experience that the law passed last session of assembly incorporating
the said insurance
company contains some restrictions calculated to defeat the beneficial
purposes contemplated by that
law, and as they are not sensible that any inconvenience can result from
a repeal of such parts of the
said act of incorporation as respect those restrictions, are of opinion
that the prayer of the memorial
ought to be granted, and suggest the propriety of passing a law conformable
thereto. All which is
submitted to the house.
By order,
J. W. KING, clk.
Which was read the first and second time, concurred
with, and leave given to bring in a bill pursuant
thereto. ORDERED, That the committee appointed on the said petition,
and Mr. McKim,
