Gentlemen of the Senate

THE bill which originated in our house, entitled, An act annulling the marriage of Brittania Marshall, and
Thomas Marshall her husband, has been returned, and we are sorry to find that if, has not met with the concur-
rence of the senate. The peculiar situation of the person applying for the aid of the legislature, has induced
us to return the bill for the reconsideration of your body, with a hope that upon further reflection it will meet
with the concurrence of the senate.
