APPENDIX——RESOLUTIONS.
benefit of this resolution shall not be extended to persons who paid
any part of the principal of their debt in continental money after
the first day of January, seventeen hundred and seventy-seven. |
Governor and
council authorised
to examine muster
rolls of the Maryland
line, &c. |
No. 12.
WHEREAS it appears, from the muster-rolls and other
documents,
that there remains a considerable sum due to the officers and soldiers,
and the staff, belonging to the quota of troops of this state
in the service of the United States, many of whom have made application
to this general assembly for payment, the time for granting
the depreciation of pay, by the auditor-general, having elapsed;
and it appearing reasonable and right that men, who have served
the public, should be rewarded for such services; therefore, RESOLVED,
That the governor and council be and they are hereby
authorised and requested to examine the muster-rolls of the Maryland
line, and other documents that may be offered to them, and
make out, in the name of each person who would have been entitled
to the same under the acts of congress or the laws of this state,
had application been made in time, the amount of pay, or depreciation
of pay, that may appear to be due him for his services in
the late continental army, and direct the auditor-general to issue a
certificate or certificates in the same manner that the officers and
soldiers have heretofore been paid, and lodge the same in the hands
of the western shore treasurer, to be by him paid, upon being fully
ascertained of the identity of the person applying, to the several
persons claiming, or their legal representatives. |
Trustee not to
transfer any of the
six per cent. stock,
&c. |
No. 13.
RESOLVED, That the trustee under the act of last
session respecting
the creditors and debtors of this state, be and he is hereby
directed not to transfer, until after the first day of January next,
any of the six per cent. stock belonging to this state, in lieu of
the three per cent. and deferred stock of the state creditors who
have subscribed their debts under the act of congress; provided,
that this resolution shall not extend to any case where the person
entitled to the transfer of such six per cent. stock shall pay to the
trustee the interest thereon from the first of October last to the
first of January next. |
Trustee directed
to set apart stock
belonging to this
state, &c. |
No. 14.
WHEREAS it appears by the report of the trustee
that many
holders of certificates, received by them in lieu of continental certificates
under the act of November session, 1782, have subscribed
the same to the loan of the United States, and have received stock
therefor of the following descriptions and amount: Of six per
cents. 45,126 dollars and 17/100ths; three per cents.
33,844 dollars
and 62/100ths; deferred 22,563 dollars and 9/100ths:
And whereas the
said trustee has subscribed the original continental certificates that
were received in lieu of those issued under the said act of 1782:
And whereas the act of congress requires that certificates issued
by any states in lieu of continental certificates, shall be exchanged
or redeemed before interest can be paid on either description;
therefore, RESOLVED, That the trustee be and he is hereby directed
to set apart and decline drawing interest on, or if necessary, to
transfer to the United States, so much of the different kinds of
stock belonging to this state as will amount to the sum so subscribed
by persons who possessed the certificates issued under the act |
