County of Wake, who was detained by Sc
we're sickness from attending the late session
OF the Convention, was introduced by me
without asking the consent of that gentle
man. I deemed it due to him, and in accor-
dance both with the legislative precedent and
the provision of section 9 chapter 1902 of the
Revised Code, which provides that in case
any member of the Senate or House of
Commons shall be detained by sickness on
his journey to OF from any session, or after
his arrival, shall be unable to attend the Sen
ate or House of Commons, he shall be emit
tied as if he had attended regularly in his
place"

Harrison especially, as well as to myself. hay
