$\scriptstyle {\underbrace {\quad \quad \quad } }$

The following order was made:—By the Court.⁠It is ordered, that the Plaintiff in this cause do file his declaration on or before the first day of March next.

Ordered, that certified copies of the said declaration be served on the Governor and Attorney General of the State of Georgia, on or before the first day of June next.

Ordered, that unless the said State shall either in due form appear, shew cause to the contrary in this Court, by the first day of next Term, judgment by default shall be entered against the said State.^[1]

The END of the SECOND VOLUME.

↑ In February Term, 1794, judgement was rendered for the Plaintiff, and a Writ of Enquiry awarded. The Writ, however, was not sued out and executed; so that this cause, and all the other suits against States, were swept at once from the Records of the Court, by the amendment to the Federal Constitution, agreeably to the unanimous determination of the Judges, in Hollingsworth et al. v. Virginia, argued at February Term, 1798.
↑ Judge Paterson’s appointment was in the room of Mr. Justice Johnson, who had resigned. The Malignant Fever, which during this year, raged in the City of Philadelphia, dispersed the great body of its inhabitants, and proved fatal to thousands, interrupted, likewise, the business of the Courts; and I cannot trace, that any important cause was agitated in the present Term.
