        GENTLEMEN OF THE SENATE,
    WE have taken into consideration the amendments proposed y you to an act for the relief of insolvent
debtors, and cannot concur in precluding from the benefit of said act the persons mentioned
in those amendments, because no fraud or mal-practice appears to have existed on part of said
debtors.  We cannot consent to the fourth and fifth amendments proposed by you, they appearing
to us in their consequences calculated in a great measure to defeat the benevolent intention of the law.
                                                        By order,                                  W.   HARWOOD, clk.
Which was read.

                                                        " By order,                                W.   HARWOOD, clk."
    The following message was prepared, read and agreed to, and, with the bill therein mentioned,
was sent to the house of delegates by the clerk.
By the SENATE, December 30, 1796.
        GENTLEMEN,
    WE have received your message requesting us to reconsider the bill for laying out a road from
Bean-town to Port-Tobacco; having great doubts as to the propriety of the measure, and not time
to inform ourselves fully on the subject, we cannot consent to reconsider the same.
                                                        By order,                                  A.  VAN-HORN, clk.
    On motion, the honourable David McMechen, Esquire, brings in and delivers to the president

the clerk.
By the SENATE, December 30, 1796.
        GENTLEMEN,
    WE have finished all the business before us, and as it is very doubtful whether we shall have a
sufficient number of members to form a quorum after eight o'clock to-morrow morning, we beg leave
to suggest to you the propriety of proceeding to sign and seal the laws at such hour between this and
that time as you shall appoint.
                                                        By order,                                  A.  VAN-HORN, clk.

" 1796:  The engrossed bill whereof this is the original read and assented to.

The senate adjourns until to-morrow morning 9 o'clock.

S    A    T    U    R    D    A    Y,    December 31, 1796.
