To the hon^ble the Leiu^t & Councell of Maryland

Williams v.
Overzee

The humble Pet" of John Williams humbly Sheweth That yo^r
Pet^r made a Crop of Tob & Corne the last yeare att M^r Symon
Ouerzees. All w^ch Tob & Corne the s^d Ouerzee deteyneth & denyeth
to giue yo^r Pet^r any account thereof. Reseruing what euer did
belong to yo^r Pet^r, to his owne priuate use. W^ch yo^r Pet^r conceiueth
by his late fault, (by yo^r Clemency pardoned) to belong rather to the
L^d Prop^r, Now soe it is th^t yo^r Pet^r is left destitute hereby of all
subsistance for the future, & for want of Corne, not able to worke
for the maintenance of himselfe, & his poore family this yeare
following.
According to yo^r hon^rs former clemency yo^r Pet^r most humbly
requesteth th^t hee may haue his Corne allowed him for his subsist-
ance only & those waring cloaths w^ch M^r Ouerzee deteyneth & hee
shall euer pray &c :
To the plfs Petⁿ the deft sayth, That the Corne w^ch the plf made
on his grownd this last yeare was not considerable, when he the deft
had taken 4 or 5 shares out of it; & the plfs share could not bee
sufficient to mainteine him, his Wife, & child, & therefore hopeth th^t
the Court will not compell him to allow the plf Corne for all his
family. And as to the Cloaths, the deft sayth th^t though he p^emitted
the plf to weare them, yett they did not belong unto him as his owne,
when as they were the cloaths of his seruants who dyed in his howse,
Besides th^t the plf is indebted unto the deft, & not able to satisfy him,
his debt.
The Court considering, th^t according to the Law & Custome of
this Prouince noe Inhab^t thereof ought, or may be depryued of all
liuelyhood & subsistance: & th^t Corne & other necessaries allso haue
bene protected from Exequuons: & the plf hauing made a Crop, both
of Corne & Tob, att the defts howse, & for the defts benefitt, as is
supposed.
