That since his quitting his said Clerks place as aforesaid he the
said Goldsborough obtained a warrant from a magistrate of the said
County against the said John Seward for such fees as Accrued due
to the said Goldsborough during the time of his Clerkship and
which were also intended to be secured to him by the said Recog-
nisance upon which warrant the said Seward was taken and carried
before the said Magistrate, who upon hearing both parties did order
and adjudge the said Seward to pay unto the said Goldsborough the
said fees or so many thereof, as to the said Magistrate seemed due
and payable. That notwithstanding such Judgment as aforesaid
Obtained, and the liberty of Executing the said Seward thereon, of
which the said Goldsborough could not be Ignorant, he the said
Goldsborough has proceeded & still Continues to proceed towards the
obtaining against the said Seward, an Execution on the said Recog-
nisance for the said fees by which means the said Seward is not
only under an apprehension of being burthened with an additional
weight of Costs and Charges but is also fearfull of being twice
Executed as he has already been twice vexed and Troubled for the
same Debt. All which Actings and Doings your Committee Con-
ceive to be directly Contrary to the known rules of Law, Reason
and Justice, and a great Burthen Aggrievance, and oppression upon
his magisties Liege Subjects the good people of this province and
Humbly submit the same to this House.
