Amy Dardin.
Mr. T. Claiborne moved that the report of the Committee of Claims, on the petition of Amy Dardin, be referred to a Committee of the Whole.
The Speaker said, that the report having been negatived at a former session, and a bill brought in for her relief, but not decided upon, the proper motion would be to appoint a committee to bring in a bill.
Mr. Claiborne made that motion, which Mr. Coit moved to be referred to the Committee of Claims, in order that they might report the facts relative to the case, which were not generally known.
Mr. Claiborne objected to this; and
Mr. Baldwin suggesting the propriety of committing it to the same Committee of the Whole, to whom were referred the subject of considering the expediency of excepting certain claims from the operation of the limitation acts, this course was adopted.
