Houses of the General Assembly, appointed by joint
resolution passed at the January Session, 1892, re-
spectfully report, that in pursuance of said joint reso-
lution, we did, on this 29th day of January, 1892, in
the office of the Treasurer of Maryland, examine and
count the bonds of the Treasury Relief Loan of said
State (the same having been withdrawn by the Treas-
ury officers from the Safe Deposit at Baltimore and
brought to said office for the purpose of being counted,
examined and destroyed as required by said reso-
lution, ) and that we found said bonds to be num-
bered "one" to "five hundred, " each inclusive, each
for the sum of one thousand, and each bond had
attached to the same the coupons due July 1st, 1892,
and thereafter, and that said bonds were acquired by
the Treasury officers by redemption under the call of
July 31, 1890, and by purchase prior thereto, and had
been duly stamped and cancelled, and having counted
and examined the said bonds, your Committee did, on
said day burn said bonds and the coupons thereto
attached, in the presence of the Treasurer.
