    WE return you the resolution in favour of Samuel Peterson Wallace, and hope you will reconsider
it.  The incompetency of the evidence exhibited to you, was, we presume, the reason of your
rejecting it.  As there will ne no other evidence brought forward to support his claim, we hope you
will, upon reconsideration, assent to it.
                                                        By order,                                  W.   HARWOOD, clk.
Which was read.
    THe clerk of the house of delegates delivers to the clerk of the senate the following message, together
with the bill and amendments therein mentioned.
By the HOUSE of DELEGATES, December 29, 1796.
        GENTLEMEN OF THE SENATE,
    WE have dissented from your first amendment to the bill, entitled, An act relating to negroes,
and to repeal the acts of assembly therein mentioned, and hope that upon reconsideration you will
pass the bill without insisting upon the same.  We cannot agree to this amendment, because it goes
to the competency of the witnesses born of free ancestors, and entitled to the privileges of citizens.
We think that the credibility of such persons ought always to rest with the jury of their country.
                                                        By order,                                  W.   HARWOOD, clk.
Which was read.
