this County's Petition which shews the hardshipe he and his
Goaler lyes under if a provision is not made in their favor, we
think the profits of the Sher riffs Office (of this County Es-

of so many Prisoners as are (allmost) Every sessions releas'd,
and therefore desire your Consideration of their Case and a
proper relief for them; Which we [are] Perswaded you will
be the Readier to do; when you Consider the Extraordinary
