Henry Hall of Upper Marlb'ro. in Prince Georges County by his Petition sets forth that
he has for some time kept a small Shop in the said Town, and has regularly complied with the
Law relating to licence to retail spiritous liquors, but that during his absence a half gill of
Rum was called for and drank in his house, for which he has been presented and fined 6oo
tcs. [tierces] of Tobacco as appears by a transcript annexed to the Petition. The Petitioner
in addition to his plea of ignorance of the transaction represents that he has suffered lately
by fire which would render the payment of the fine very burthensome to him. The Board having
reason from the Recommendation of three Justices of the said County to believe the facts stated
to be true, do order that the above fine be remitted on his paying all the Costs arising thereon.

The Petition of George Leggett of Baltimore Town praying the remission of a forfeited
recognizance of ten pounds for the appearance of a certain Simeon Leet at January term last
of Baltimore County Court was read and rejected.

In Council April 21. 1791

By the Petition of Thomas Beall of Baltimore County it is represented that he entered
into a Recognizance in the penalty of forty five pounds for the appearance of a certain James
McDowell at the Court of Oyer and terminer &ca. for the said County; soon after which the
said McDowell absconded and the Petitioner has been at considerable expence in endeavoring
to have him brought back to Justice without effect, That execution has issued on the for-
feiture and the Petitioner has in consequence been put into Prison; being unable to pay the
Money. He further represents that he has a large family who are suffering greatly through his
confinement. The Board having reason to believe by the Recommendation of three Justices of
the aforesaid Court that the Petitioner is through his poverty and his numerous family a
proper object of clemency, do order that the above forfeiture of forty five pounds, be remitted;
on the Petitioners paying all legal Costs which have accrued thereon.
