1. The validity of Steuart's election as a delegate from Annapolis was again questioned through petition from Henry Woodward, who sought to disqualify some of the votes cast for his opponent. After some discussion, both parties agreed to avoid "giving the House any further Trouble in this Controversy," and requested that the election "so far as it concerns them should be declared Void." The Lower House called for a new election, at which time Steuart was again returned. He requalified on April 4, 1759.
