[margin]deficient attendance[/margin]

The Senate having considered the petitions of Messrs McLeod, Pinkerton, Irvine and Brown all agreed to count their attendance as a full session though amounting to less than four fifths thereof. The Senate also granted a petition to the same effect presented by M.L.

[margin]Spankie not to be examined in Rh. Eng. [/margin]

Having taken up a second petition of Wm.
