The Vermont House of Representatives appointed a committee to examine the votes of the freemen of Vermont for governor, lieutenant governor, treasurer, and members of the governor's council. Thomas Chittenden, who had been governor from 1778 to 1789, and again starting in 1790, died in August 1797.
