Enock Moore, Jr., of Wilmington,
moved that the meeting appoint the |
committee, to which Major B. II. Biggs
offered an amendment that the Hun
dreds be called in order for their an
nouncements. Mr.. Moore accepted the
amendment. s,..-..
Mr.. Townsend claimed that fair
expression could not be obtained in
this manner, and said he would sooner
have the chair appoint. .-. fe
VIM. w. Pritchett, of Wilmington,
claimed that Mr.. Roberts motion first
came up for consideration, and Major
Biggs claimed that Mr.. Moore motion
had priority.
A vote was taken on Mr.. Moore's
motion and it was adopted.
A call of the Hundreds was then
commenced, but when Wilmington
was reached, the names of VIM. II.

Daley, Joseph L. Carpenter, Jr., Pat
rick Neary, Thomas nj. Ogle, Isaac
Dillon and Thomas r. Lally were all

Chairman McIntire said-I don't
know how three can be selected from
these unless you want the chair to pick
out three names.
No dissent being made to this propo-
sition, chairman McIntire announced
as the committee for Wilmington, VIM.
H. Brady, Joseph l.. Carpenter, Jr.,
and Patrick Neary.
Then there was dissent--ln perfect
howl, and a dozen men were on the
floor at once, making dozen different
suggestions, none of which indicated
practical solution of the difficulty.
Finally, Major Biggs suggested that
the Wilmingtonians present retire and
select their own committee, which
suggestion was agreed upon, and the
Wilmington representatives retired to
the Grand Jury room and took bal
lot, which resulted in the selection of
