Thomas Rose of Frince George's County by his Petition sets forth
that he has been fined by the Court of the said County in the sum of
six pounds for retailing Spiritous Liquors contrary to Law, which
also appears by a transcript of the Proceeding accompanying the

Petitioner further represents that he is rather a poor man with a
large family, and that he has but one Arm. The Board being of
