from Baltimore County into Harford, where he was confined by
sickness to his bed and thereby prevented from attending according
to the Tenor of his Recognizance, consequently his said Recognizance
became forfeited, and five of the Justices of Baltimore County afore-
said certifying the truth of the facts contained in his Petition [p 27]
and recommending a Remission of the said forfeited Recognizance,
The Board upon Consideration of his Case, are of Opinion that the
