Chap. 180.—JOINT RESOLUTION Tendering the Thanks of the General
Assembly to Conway Robinson, Esq., for Services as Counsel in the Cause
of Paul vs. the State of Virginia.

Agreed to July 4, 1870.

Whereas, when the cause of Paul vs. the state of Virginia
was called for argument in the supreme court of the United
States, there was no counsel in attendance on the said court

whereas, Conway Robinson, Esquire, did volunteer to argue
said cause on the part of this state, and did argue the same
with ability and success; and whereas, the said counsel did
perform this valuable service without expectation of pecuniary
reward, and solely from an intelligent regard for the welfare
of his native state; and whereas, the principal involved in the
said cause was of near concernment to the sovereignty of this
commonwealth and to the just protection of its citizens: there-
fore,

Resolved, That the thanks of the general assembly of Vir-
ginia be and the same are hereby tendered Conway Robin-
son, Esquire, for his valuable services as counsel in the said
cause.

Resolved, That the governor is hereby respectfully requested
to communicate a copy of this resolution to Conway Robin-
son, Esquire.
