The Journal (5)

On the 5th day of April 1792 the Convention continued:

"The Convention met according to Adjournment."

"Ordered, That Mr. Nicholas Lewis be appointed Serjeant at arms during the absence of Mr. Joshua Barbee."

"The Convention according to the order of the day, resolved itself into a Committee of the whole to take into farther consideration the matters to them referred.  Mr. Shelby was elected to the Chair and after sometime spent the President resumed the Chair and the Chairman reported that the committee of the whole had taken into their farther consideration the matters to them referred and made farther progress therein but not having time to go thro' the same had directed him to move for leave to sit again Tomorrow which was granted."

"Resolved That this Convention will Tomorrow again resolve itself into a Committee of the whole to take into farther consideration the matters to them referred."

"The Convention Adjourned till Tomorrow Morning 10 O'Clock."

A "Committee of the whole" continues.  I have been unable to find a complete listing of the folks involved.
