Friday, December 1.
A new member, to wit: Joseph Heister, returned to serve in this House as a member for the State of Pennsylvania, in the room of George Ege, who has resigned his seat, appeared, produced his credentials, and took his seat in the House.
Several other members, to wit: from Pennsylvania, Andrew Gregg; from Kentucky, Thomas T. Davis; and from North Carolina, Nathan Bryan, and Dempsey Burges, appeared and took their seats in the House.
The Clerk then informed the House that he had heard from a member of the Senate that the Speaker was indisposed; so much so that he was not able to communicate his indisposition to the House in writing.
Mr. Dent said, this being the case, he should move that the orders for this day be further postponed till Monday; which motion being agreed to, the Clerk, on motion, adjourned the House till Monday morning, at 11 o'clock.
