1846 Report of the House Committee of Privileges and Elections regarding the memorial of Lemuel J. Bowden, objecting to the election of William Howard as delegate of York and James City and the City of Williamsburg. After reviewing the evidence and determining which votes were illegal, the committee concluded that the votes for both were the same. Of note, the committee did not resolve the tie within the report.

1839 report of the Committee of Privileges and Elections regarding a petition of Edward P. Scott, claiming a right to the Senate seat of Brunswick, Dinwiddie and Greensville Counties and the ability of the governor to call for an election following James Mallory's resignation from this same seat during the committee's investigation. After review, the committee resolved that the governor did not have the authorization to call for an election, nor did Scott have sufficient votes; therefore, the seat was declared vacant, and a writ of election would be issued by the Speaker of the Senate. Includes a substitute proposed by Mr. Nash.
