The minutes of the previous session were read and approved. 
There being no unfinished business, or reports of Secretary 
or Treasurer, the regular order of business was passed to reports 
of committees. 
. The Committee on Resolutions appointed to draught and pre¬ 
sent resolutions to His Excellency, Governor Henry T. Gage, 
protesting against the action of one of the directors of the State
