JOINT EESOLUTION:

WHEREAS, On the motion made last evening to reconsider
the vote by which the Oyster Bill was ordered to be engrossed
for a third reading, and especially on the motion to amend
section 28, of said bill, the issue was raised and decided that
the gift of public patronage, when vested in the Judiciary,
is calculated to affect the purity, integrity and independence
of that system, and should not be so vested ; Therefore,

Resolved by the General of Maryland, That the appoint-
ment of School Commissioners by the Judiciary of this State
is in like manner calculated to effect the purity, integrity and
independence of that system, and should not be so vested.

Which was considered.
