In Council 17th. December 1785

James Jarvis of Harford County by his Petition sets forth, that
he was presented at a March Term 1784 for demanding of William
Jordan, Eight pence for Grog; which he declares was made Strong,
and with good Spirits, as the said Jordan had desired. The Petitioner
suggests that Jordan was not dissatisfied with the Charge; but was
put upon presenting him by a certain Peter Carroll, to whom he
casually mentioned the Circumstance, and who threatned him with
a [p 82] Presentment in case he did not present the Peti-
tioner. On considering the Circumstances mentioned and a Recom-
mendation from three Magistrates of the said County, which ac-
companies the Petition, the Board do order and direct that the fine
imposed in consequence of the said Presentment be remitted.
