Samuel Miles of Baltimore County having by his Petition set forth
that Licence was granted to a certain John Primrose to keep an
Ordinary, that before the expiration of the year for which it was
granted, the said Primrose moved from the House, and rented it to
him the Petitioner who thought himself entitled to the benefit of the
Licence for the residue of the year, and accordingly sold Liquors,
for which he was fined at Baltimore County Criminal Court held

and offended through ignorance. And three of the Justices of the
said County having certified that it appears to them that the above
State of facts are true, and having recommended the Petitioner as a
