ting to the land-ofice and vacant land, the 23rd
of February, lS60 and by special order, it passed
to its second and third reading, and was adopted
by the Senate without negative vote. On tie
24th of February it was reported to the House of
Delegates, and referred to select committee,
sisting of Durant, Coudy and Jones, of Prince

Lin thcum, of Dorchester, as will more fully ap-
pear by reference to the journals OF the Senate and
House.
The act repeals several sections of the tifty-thrd
article of the Code and substitutes others in Ecu
thereof, the principal effect of which amendments
seems to be to abolish the payment of "caution
money" Mr.. g. j. Durant, a member of the late
Legis lature, explained to the meeting that he
would not have voted for the law if he had thought
for a moment that any person would have availed
themselves of the opportunity thus afforded to
mOnopolize the water lands of the tde-water coun-
ties.

the action of himself and friends in the premises.

Thomas, Esq, and Col. J. 7. Blackstone The
following preamble and resolutions were adopted
unanimously:
Whereas The public mind is justly agitated and
cited by the late attempt certain parties this county
claiming the power locate immense warrants covering
hundred and thousand acres OF the oyster lands
this State and the Government OF tins State

as the right claimed by these parties Is IN violation of
the immemora and vested rights ef the people large;
Therefore

5Grd Article of the Code of Public Laws is wrong and

Miles and Morgan, as members of the Senate
of Delegates, respectively in attempting to avail them
