273 His Excellency is pleased to lay before this Board the fol-
lowing Letter
Sir.
I am in my Duty when I tell you the Person you have ap-
pointed Sheriff of Baltimore County, has repeatedly cursed
and damned the King for an Hanover Dog and a Turnep
Man, and wished himself in the French or the Pretenders
Army that he might drive that Hanover Dog home again; if
with such Principles, that entitle him rather to be the Tenant
rhan the Keeper of a Jayl, he is continued at the head of the
County, I shall think it my Duty to tell the Secretary of State
as much
Your very humble servant
Balt: C: Nov: 4. 1746 Thomas Chase
