Said bill was then returned to the House of Delegates.

Mr. Maddox, from the Select Committee, submitted the
following report:

The undersigned, committee appointed to investigate how
the amendments were made to the bill relative to the election
of Mayor and City Council of Baltimore, respectfully report
that at the time of engrossing the bill it was suggested
that the omission of the word "second," was a clerical error,
and supposing such to be the case, and in order to make the
meaning of the section conform to the other sections of the
bill, the word "second" was inserted. That in our opinion,
it was an improper alteration without the knowledge of the
Senate, but we are unanimously satisfied there was no crim-
inal intention whatever upon the part of either the parties
who suggested or made the alteration.

G. FRED. MADDOX,

Chairman of the Committee.
