Mr.. j. G. BvnUm presented a resolution instruct
ing the committee upon printing to enquire into the
cause of the delay Ia furnishing the House with
printed documents
Mr. Bynum wished it to be understood that he
did not throw any mputation upon the Public prin-
ter but as he was informed that sickness among
his hands had prevented the work being done, he
wished, if it necessary other persons would be
cmployed to assist him in his contract.
Mr. Jenkins considered the resolution was unne-
ccssary every eXcrton was made to fulfil the or
ders oil the House. number of bills already print
ed were not acted on, and from enquiry he made on
the subject he convinced the public printer had
done his duty.

brought forward at a time when the House was pro-
crossing rapidly with the Public business. The
motion of the member from Rutherford would have

and stated he had not yet received the ceSteTa report
Mr.. Settle felt happy to supply the gentleman
with the report, it had been i'll possession of the
House for nearly week
Mr.. Bynum had not received one, and after exam
lining the date said it unreasonable to allow the
printer to keep the documents long, and stated
that the members from Rockingham and Warren,
influenced by party motives in the remarks
they made.
Mr. Settle wished to reply to the insinuations of
the gentleman from Rutherford, who too we'll
versed in such matters not to be that the
olution did convey nputation on the printer.

score were the table ofthe House, whence then
this cutlery of delay, when there was none Mr..
Settle called upon any gentleman in the house who

speak, (no reply under the circumstances he could

laycd for want of information respecting certain
ports upon the Railroad &c.

he was in possession nearly two weeks ago, of that
information which the gentleman now complained,
was not forthcoming perhaps the gentleman'S ab-
sence in Wilmington might account for the fact
