Whereas, The said passes were taken np by the
troops in Baltimore under orders of Brigadier General
Lawrason Riggs, and admission through the fire-lines
was denied to the Members of the House of Delegates;

Therefore, be it resolved. That the action of Brig-
adier-General Riggs, in taking up and refusing to
recognize the passes of His Excellency, Governor War-

adier-General Riggs.
