John Chambers asks that his marriage to Riney O'Neal be annulled. Chambers reveals that "about two weeks after marriage your petitioner's wife was charged with having been delivered of a molatto child." He further notes, that when confronted with said charge, the family confessed to "the above crime." Declaring that he "carried his wife Riney to her father and has never lived with her since," Chambers wishes "your honorable Body to take his case into serious consideration and pass a law to annul the marriage of your unfortunate petitioner."
Result: Committee recommends passage.
