dont they sue me if they had any Cause of Action they would
long ago. The next is about One Saylor a Dutch Man I think
it was about four years ago One Leaser Sued him and was
brought before me, Leaser proved his Account and Saylor
made answer he had an Account to prove I asked him what it
was, he said it was for nursing Leaser in the Small Pox the
aforesaid Leaser had it very light and after he got well he
worked for him some time until Saylor was Satisfied for his
trouble then I asked Sayler if he did intend to charge Leaser
for the nursing of him at that time he made answer no if
Leaser had not Warranted him and made him Mad he would a
never said one Word about it so I think these trumpt Accounts
and especially of a long standing ought not to be allowed.
The next is about one Michael Creager a Worthless fellow
as far as I can learn he lives some distance from me but where
I know not, he pretends to prove his Assertion by some of his
own sort only Samuel Magruder Constable I asked him about
it he says he knows nothing of the matter its so far from my
receiving double fees for One Warrant I dont get Single fees.
I desire you will be so good as to send me three Summons's one
for Peter Shuman and one for John Furguson and another for
Thomas Johnson and appoint the first Wednesday in July for
a hearing, and in so doing you will very much Oblige Sir
30^th April 1767. Your very humble Servant
To P: Bainbridge.
Upton Scott Esq^r Clerk of the Council.

against the said Bainbridge being Continued in Commission,

Philip Rodenpiller.

To His Excellency Horatio Sharpe Esq^r Governor and Com-
mander in Chief in and over the Province of Maryland.

The humble Petition of the Inhabitants of Ketockton hun-
dred in Frederick County and Province aforesaid humbly
Sheweth.

That some time ago a certain Peter Shuman went about
with a Petition through the Neighbourhood and told some of
us that it was a Petition to send to the Governor in Order to
get a Dutch Justice, and others of us he told it was a Petition
for a Road, and since Cap^t Bainbridge has got the Petition
from Annapolis and Read it to us we declare that we know of
no such things as he is Charged with in the aforesaid Petition
