[J. H. Stone Pres^t Council, to W^m M^cLaughlin Esq^r.]

By the Petitions and Depositions of Jonathan Tipton, Absolam
Barney and Henry Hale setting forth that they were aggrieved by
the forfeiture of a Recognizance for a certain William Edger at
Baltimore August Court 1784 and from several circumstances now
appearing to this Board they are induced to believe that it might be
right to relieve these people but for want of sufficient vouchers it
cannot be done at this time we therefore request you to postpone
levying the said fine or forfeited Recognizance against Jon^a Tipton,
Absolam Barney or Henry Hale or either of them until the Matter
can be enquired into & adjusted.
