So it was resolved in the affirmative.
On motion, ORDERED, That the speaker issue his warrant of election to the sheriff of Harford county, to
elect a delegate to supply the place of Jacob Norris, Esquire, whose seat is vacated; which issued
accordingly.
    Mr. Robins, from the committee, brings in and delivers to Mr. Speaker the following report:
    THE committee to whom was referred the petition of Charles Emory, of Talbot county, examiner
for the eastern shore, report, that they have taken the same into consideration, and are of
opinion that the land-office for that shore not having come into full operation, as yet affords but a
trifling compensation to the officers constituted in pursuance of the act which established the land-office
for that shore, and your committee submit the propriety of referring the said petition to the
consideration of the next general assembly, who will be more competent to determine the merits of
the petitioner's application.  All which is submitted to the house.
                                                        By order,                                        S.  LUCKETT, clk.
Which was read the first and second time and concurred with.
    Mr. Key, from the committee of conference, brings in and delivers to Mr. Speaker the following
report:
    THE conferrees on the part of this house appointed to meet the conferrees of the senate on the
subject of the governor's letter, report, that they have agreed upon the following answer thereto, and
submit the propriety of the annexed resolution.
    RESOLVED, That the speaker be requested, in conjunction with the president of the senate, to
forward the said answer to his excellency the governor.
                                                        By order,                                        J. W.  KING, clk.
The JOINT ANSWER of the SENATE and HOUSE of DELEGATES to the GOVERNOR's
                                                            ADDRESS.
    WE have received, with particular satisfaction, your excellency's address of the 16th instant.
Although not sanctioned by precedent, or enjoined by the constitution, such communications have
certainly their use; and we with that future governors may follow the laudable example, whenever
they may deem it expedient to submit to the legislature such matters as they shall judge deserving its
attention.
    We cordially approve your sentiments respecting the general government, and rejoice most sincerely
in that public felicity you have so truly depicted, the effect, in a great measure, of that government,
