So it was resolved in the affirmative.
A petition from Benjamin Gatch, and others, stating,
that they have sustained considerable
damages by a road passing through their lands agreeably to an act passed

to Mr. Worthington, Mr.
Ridgely, Mr. Carroll, Mr. McMechen and Mr. Digges, to consider and
report thereon.
The house adjourns till to-morrow morning 9 o'clock.

Y, November 30, 1796.
THE house met. Present the same members as
on yesterday. The proceedings of yesterday
were read.
The bill for the relief of Lucy Jennings, widow
and devisee of Richard Jennings, late of Frederick
county, deceased, the bill to lay out certain roads, and authorising
certain public landings, in Worcester
county, the bill to repeal the thirty-third section of the act therein
mentioned, the resolutions
in favour of Robert Haddaway and Daniel Bussard, the bill to allow
further time for collecting the
balances due to Thomas O'Bryon, late sheriff and collector of Queen-Anne's
county, deceased,
the bill to empower the justices of the levy court of Charles county
to assess and levy annually a
sum of money for the purpose therein mentioned, and a bill declaring
the right of personal liberty,
and redressing the injuries thereto, were sent to the senate by the
clerk.
Mr. Sprigg, from the committee, brings in and delivers
to the speaker the following report:
THE committee to whom was referred the petition
of Sarah Brown, and others, of Baltimore-town,
report, that they have taken the same into consideration, and are of
opinion that the allegations
therein contained are true, but that by the act for enlarging the power
of the high court of chancery,
passed at November session, 1785, chapter 72, sec. 13, it is provided,
that in case any infant has a
joint interest, or interest in common with any other person or persons,
in any lands or tenements,
that the chancellor has power to direct a sale, if he thinks proper,
under all circumstances; your
committee are therefore of opinion that it would be an improper interference
in the legislature to
grant the prayer of said petition. All which is submitted.
By order,
J. HARWOOD, clk.
Which was read the first and second time and concurred with.
Mr. Pattison appeared in the house.
The report on the petition of William Handy was
read the second time, and the question put,
That the house concur therewith? The yeas and nays being required,
appeared as follow:
