Whereas it appears by the representation of the Chief Justice and the two Associates of
Caecil County, that Henry Cleyland Baker of said County at October term seventeen hundred
and eighty nine did apply to the said Court for a licence to keep Tavern at a place called long
Creek, which was granted to him, and that he paid the sum of Six pounds five shillings being
the sum prescribed for one year's keeping of a Tavern, and that Whereas the Laws of this
State at [p. 53] that time required that persons should apply at the June Courts for
such licence or if they should apply at any other term their licence should continue not longer
than the June Court following when the same should determine and might be removed, and that
the said Henry Cleyland Baker alleges that he thought his licence would continue to the October
term 1790, and omitted to renew the same at the June Court following the October that he
obtained it, and in consequence of this neglect the said Henry Cleyland Baker was presented at
October Court 1790, and was fined the Sum of Six pounds, And the said Court having in con-
sequence of the indigent Circumstances of the said Henry Cleyland Baker recommended the
remission of the said fine. We do therefore order and direct that the said fine be remitted upon
the said Baker's paying the Costs thereon accruing.

previous to the usual [p. 54] time of holding Court in June 1790, and that he took out
a licence at the said Term, which was in force until the usual time of holding June term 1791,

Court was further adjourned, at which last adjournment he did not apply by reason of his

which he paid the Sum of three pounds, the said licence to continue in force until March term
last, by which omission the State has lost forty shillings, that he had no intention to violate
the Laws. And the said Justices having recommended a remission of the said fine. The Board
