Mr. Benbury, preamble and resolutions relative
| to E. q. Haywood, a member of the House, being
''as Clerk and Master in Equity" constitutonaly
disqualified to sit member and declaring that
the seat now held by said E. G. Haywood is hereby
declared vacant and that the Speaker of the House
of Commons be instructed to issue writ of cleo
ton to supply the said vacant seat
On the question being put that the resolutions
pass their first reading
Mr.. Haywood complained of the attempt to strike
him first. There 900 friends in Wake coun-
ty deeply interested, yet he had not received the
courtesy OF being warned of the attempt upon the
rights OF his constituents. He only asked the House
to appoint some definite time when he would be
better able to defend himself than at present 1t
was but Just and right that day be named, and
not spring upon him without warning. If the
gentlemen opposite wanted discussion, they will
| have enough of it before the matter is ended
Mr.. Benbury considered there was no cause for
excitement.
The resolution was presented to let the House take
what action it thought fit. The member from Wake
had already discussed the question before the peo-
pie and it could not upon him by surprise He
(Air. b. would boldly do his duty when it came
before the House for investigation but at present
he was only doing his duty chairman of the COM
mittee of privileges and elections.
Mr.. Haywood considered the explanation by the
ntrolucer of the resolution satisfactory. He was
prepared to enter upon the discussion that moment
if he had his papers, books, &c. but his health would
not permit him. He was perfectly satisfied in his
own mind that he entitled to his seat and again
complained that notice was given him of the in
tention to introduce the resolution.
