Resolution relative to the presentation of a Sword to
George W. Rogers.
WHEREAS, it appears that a resolution was adopted at
December session, eighteen hundred and thirty, authorising
the Governor to procure and present to Captain George
W. Rogers, of the United States Navy, a sword, as a fur-
ther evidence of the high sense the Legislature entertains
for the services rendered his country ; and whereas, it
appears that the said George W. Rogers is now dead, —
Therefore,
Resolved by the General Assembly of Maryland, That
his Excellency the Governor, be requested to present the
said sword to Raymond Rogers, the eldest son of the de-
ceased, with an assurance that it is presented to him, in
consideration of the high sense which the Legislature of
Maryland entertain for the gallantry of his deceased father,
as displayed in the brilliant and well fought action during
the late war, between the United States sloop of war,
Wasp, and his Britannic Majesty's ship Frolic, and on
other important occasions.
