And now, in conclusion, the Committee will distinctly and
briefly repeat, that which they have hereinbefore stated at
length and in detail: That John R. Franklin, the memo-
rialist, was at the election in the Twelfth Judicial Circuit of
Maryland, held on the 7th day of November, eighteen hun-
dred and sixty-five, disqualified to hold the office of Circuit
Judge; and that that disqualification was known to more
than one hundred of the electors who voted tor him; and
that, at the said election, the petitioner, Thomas A. Spence,
received the greatest number of the legal votes polled for Cir-
cuit Judge, and was duly elected Circuit Judge of the said
Circuit; and the Committee would respectfully recommend
the following Resolutions to be adopted by the House of
Delegates;
Resolved, by the House of Delegates of Maryland, That, at
an election held on the seventh day of November, eighteen
hundred and sixty-five, for a Circuit Judge of the Twelfth
Judicial Circuit of Maryland, in the Counties of Worcester,
Somerset and Dorchester, comprising the said Circuit, John
R. Franklin was not duly and legally elected, because lie was
disqualified, under the Constitution, to hold the said office,
and because he did not receive the largest number of legal
votes polled at the said election for the said office.
And, Resolved, That Thomas A. Spence, having received
the largest number of the legal votes polled at the said elec-
tion for the said office, was duly and legally elected Circuit
Judge of the Twelfth Judicial Circuit of Maryland.
And further, Resolved, That a copy of these Resolutions
be transmitted to His Excellency the Governor of Maryland,
for his action thereon.
