1 A petition was presented by Robert Hendly Courts of Charles County complaining about the improper election of
Ware and Hawkins, charging them with "treating" at the polls. A new election was ordered on October 14, 1771. Both
men were reelected and qualified on November 18, 1771.
2 The Committee of Elections and Privileges reported on October 5, 1771, that Hagar, although a naturalized Mary-
lander, was "not a natural born Subject nor descended from a natural born Subject." He was determined to be ineligi-
ble for election and discharged on October 8. Three days later the Lower House introduced a bill that allowed natural-
ized subjects "all the Rights and Privileges of natural born Subjects." This bill became law on October 16. Hagar was
reelected and qualified on November 16, but the dispute over his election continued.
