Resolved, that it is the opinion of this committee, That those who purchase grain or other victual, other than for the consumption of themselves, their families, or those in their employ, or for manufacture, ought to be declared by law, to be engrossers, save only that such declaration should not extend to any public agent or contractor, purchasing in pursuance of the duties of his office.
Resolved, that it is the opinion of this committee, That persons, not being public agents or contractors, and taking upon themselves that character, thereby to take advantage to themselves of those exemptions and privileges, which the laws give to public agents and contractors, ought to be made subject to exemplary punishment.
