WHEREAS, Our Commissioner to the Governor of Virginia, in
his report to the Legislature, informs us that the Governor of
Virginia was understood to say "that if, at any time, the military
forces of Virginia should trespass or temporarily occupy the soil
of Maryland, it could only be justified by the pressing exigency
of a military necessity, in defence and protection of her own soil
from threatened or actual invasion, and certainly with no hostile
intent towards the citizens of the State of Maryland, and that any
and all damages to persons or property consequent upon such
occupation, should he fully and liberally compensated for;' there-
fore,

Be it Resolved by the General Assembly of Maryland, That Ma-
ryland will rely upon the honor of Virginia for full recompense
for all property destroyed by said troops.

And be it farther Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be
