County the Committee find there was not a due Proclamation
of a sufficient Time and Place for Election of the Delegates of
the said County: Notice being given the 30''' Day of August
and the Election made the second Day of September as appears
by the Indentures and Certificate Signed by divers
Complaints: besides which there are only three Indentures
returned And we further find by the Sheriff of Saint Mary's
County Certificate on the Back of the Writ for electing Delegates
for the City of Saint Mary's that there were no Persons
to be found according to the Tenor thereof to make any Elec-

Indentures under his own Hand and Seal only but has not
given the Indentures under the Hands and Seals of the Electors
Which is humbly referred to the Consideration of the House.
