The said bill was then returned to the Senate.

The hour having arrived for taking up the order of the
day:

The House took up the consideration of the memorial of
James Evans, asking remuneration for personal injuries re-
ceived whilst discharging his duty as an officer of this State;
upon which an unfavorable report had been made by the
committee on Claims.

Mr. Ford proposed as a substitute therefor, the following:

A bill entitled, an act for the relief of James Evans, a
constable in and for the first election district of Baltimore
county.

Whereas, James Evans, a constable in and for the first
election district of Baltimore county, while in discharge of
his duty as an officer in serving a State's warrant on the per-
son of John Matts, in the month of March, eighteen hundred
and fifty-eight; was shot by the said John Matts, from the
effects of which he remains a cripple for life, and also the
said James Evans incurred heavy expenses by way of phy-
sician's charges, and so forth; therefore,

Section 1. Be it enacted by the General of Assembly of
Maryland, that the Treasurer is hereby directed to pay on
the warrant of the Comptroller, to James Evans, or order,
the sum of three hundred dollars out of any money in the
Treasury, not otherwise appropriated.
