a communication through the Governor of Maryland, transmit-
ting a resolution passed by the General Assembly of Virginia
declaring that uncertainty still exists as to the real boundary

award; in consequence whereof the jurisdiction of said States

part of the General Assembly of Virginia and to frame and
report such a law or compact as will settle questions of jurisdic-

affecting the rights or jurisdictions of either of the said States
in said waters so far as fishing and oystering is concerned.

2. Resolved, That the Governor of the State of Maryland is
hereby requested to transmit a copy of these resolutions at once
to the Governor of Virginia, to be by him laid before the General
