The question was now taken on inserting the amendment of Mr. NICHOLSON,
and carried.
The question was then put upon agreeing to the amendment thus amended.
Mr. PURVIANCE said he could not vote for it because it did not state the
fact. It declared that members of the House had stated that they had
heard of official acts of misconduct of both the judges, when but one act
had been charged against Judge Peters.
Mr. J. RANDOLPH observed that he perceived no reason for the preamble.
He hoped therefore it would not be agreed to. General inquiry was his
object, and, as going to limit it, he was against the preamble.
Mr. ELLIOT said that, had the amendment of the gentleman from Connecticut
prevailed, he might have reconciled it to his mind to vote for the
resolution thus amended. But as it stood, he could not.
