Preamble and resolutions tendering the thanks of the
legislature to Mr. George Peabody.

WHEREAS, Mr. George Peabody, a citizen of Mary-
land, now resident of London, was appointed one of
three commissioners under the act of assembly of eigh-
teen hundred and thirty-five, to negotiate a loan for this
State, and after performing the duties assigned to him,
refused to apply for the compensation allowed by the
provisions of that act, because he was unwilling to add
to the burthens of the State, at a time when she was
overwhelmed with the weight of her obligations; and
whereas, since the credit of the State has been restored,
he has voluntarily relinquished all claim for the compen-
sation due to him for his services, expressing himself
fully paid by the gratification of seeing the State freed
from reproach in the eyes of the world.
