MARCH TERM, 1860.
The House of Delegates the late session of the Gen
era Assembly of Maryland acting in pursuance of power
conferred upon it by Constitution of the State passed the
following resolution:
Resopsd That it appears to this Honse that was
such tumult disorder, riot intimidation and injustice

Judges Of the Court of which he Clerk, shall have
the power to appoint Clerk until the General election of

wolves upon the Judge it appears to that he is i'm
perativey required person the

qualifications for the office should be considered, which
might be deemed quite important the mere know
the with the Clerk of this Court, whose duties,
have stated, simply those of Clerk or Register in
Chancery Entertaining the opinion above expressed in
regard to the proper qualification of the person to be
pointed to this office, have found myself restricted in
but feel satisfied that the person whom shall appoint
in regard to qualification fully meats the requirements
of the rule which have adopted He has served in the
ohce OF Clerk OF this Court for two years being when he
entered it familiar in great degree with the duties
During this period he has become thoroughly acquan
with the business connected with it, and with the forms
in which the and orders of the Court expressed
