Resolved,
That the committee on public accounts and expenditures, be instructed to inquire whether any, and if any, what amount of money has been received from James Hall, late Treasurer of this State, since the passage of the act to adjust the debt of the late Treasurer of the State of Illinois, whether the sum of fourteen hundred and fifty dollars and forty-eight cents mentioned in said act has been paid into the Treasury, and what proceedings have been taken by the commissioners appointed by said act; and that they report by bill or otherwise.2
1On January 27, John Harris introduced the resolution in the House of Representatives. Abraham Lincoln was a member of the Committee on Public Accounts and Expenditures. It does not appear that the Committee reported back on this topic.
