Mr.. Hebard of Randolph, by letter, re-
signed his seat as a member of this House,
having been elected a Judge Of the Su.
preme Court.
Resolutions Mr.. Canf9ld moved 10 dis
miss the resolution, remarking that the
committee had enormously interpreted the
con stitution, and that there was in fact no
improperly in Mr.. S. holding this office as
it was neither executive, juridicial, nor yet
an appointment in the legislature. Mr..
Harrington asked a delay for a time he

was Withdrawn. and the resolution laid on
the table.
