forfeited Recognizance against Robert Cunningham, and John
McCandless his Security of Baltimore County having made it appear
to us that it was not from a Contempt of the Court that the Recog-
nizance was forfeited, that Cunningham did appear in Court the first
Day, and John Moore not appearing, Chalmers, who is solely in-
terested in the Dispute, (Cunningham being only the Agent) appre-
hended as it turned out, that the said John Moore, would not appear
and it being inconvenient and expensive for Cunningham to stay, told
him he might go home, but at the same Time requested he would be
ready to attend on the shortest Notice, which he promised to give
him, if he should be called for: We therefore request you to stay any
further Proceedings against the said Robert Cunningham and John
McCandless until our further Order, or until the End of the next
Session of Assembly.
