3 Upon petition of various freeholders of Cecil County, the Lower House decided on June 6, 1749, that the election for
delegates from Cecil County was not a free election, and was therefore null and void. A new election was called for, at
which four different delegates were returned.
4 Dulany and Tilghman were discharged from the Lower House on May 9, 1750—Dulany for accepting the office of
deputy commissary of Anne Arundel County, and Tilghman for accepting the office of keeper of the rent rolls for the
Eastern Shore. Dulany was subsequently reelected to the Lower House, and took his seat on May 16, 1750.
5 Wright, who was elected to replace Edward Tilghman, was disqualified from serving on June 1, 1750, because he con-
tinuted to act as inspector of tobacco after his election.
6 Upon the petition of Prather, complaining of an illegal election and return by the sheriff of Frederick County, the
Lower House determined on June 8, 1749, that Dulany had not been properly elected. Prather was declared the winner,
and took his seat on June 9, 1749.
7 The members of all Lower House standing committees appointed in the convention were reappointed to continue in
the first, second, and third sessions, but the only names relisted in those sessions were the members on the Bills of
Credit-Paper Currency Committee. It is presumed that Benjamin Mackall and Henry Wright Crabb, who were added
to the Committee of Arms and Ammunition in the middle of the first session, were not included in the reappointment
of members made in the second session, and that James Mills and Nicholas Hyland, who were added to this same com-
mittee in the middle of the second session, were not included in the reappointment made in the third. It is also assumed
that Edward Sprigg and William Murdock, who were added to the Committee of Laws in the middle of the second
session, were not included in the third session reappointment. The Upper House member on the Committee of Bills of
Credit-Paper Currency was not named during the convention.
