on the same to the 18^th of October 1783 amounting to Eighty three
pounds, eight Shillings passed by the Auditor General exhibited to
this Board and examined and approved. —
A Petition from Horatio Ford of Baltimore County was laid be-
fore the Board Setting forth that he was unfortunately led to a
quarrel with a certain Charles Stret for which he was indicted, and
two Presentments found against him at May Term 1782 — That being
Ignorant of Court Proceedings, he neglected to Attend according to
the Tenor of his Recognizance, whereby the Same together with the
Recognizance of Philip Norwood his Bail became forfeited for
which Suit is instituted against him and his Bail for Sixty pounds
Current Money — that he is greatly distressed not being able to pay
the said fine and Costs, more especially on Account of his Bail who
is a poor Man with a considerable Family who are wholly dependant
on his Industry, and must suffer the extremity of severe Indigence
if they are deprived of the Means of his Support, which must be the
Case if he is thrown into Prison for the Payment of the fine afore-
said, and therefore praying a Remission thereof : and the Justices
of the County Court of the said County having certified that the
Allegations set forth in Said Petition are true The Board taking the
Same into Consideration do order and direct a Remission of the
Said forfeiture of Sixty pounds.
