Thomas Marshall of Prince Georges County by his Petition to the Board sets forth, that
he being a Magistrate of Prince Georges County omitted to attend at Upper Marlbro at the
meeting of the Magistrates under the Act of Assembly to regulate the Inspection of Tobacco,
that he did not know it was necessary he should attend, that had he known that the Law
required his attendance peremtorily [sic] he would most certainly have endeavored to be
present, that he had not seen the Law and believes that it had not been [p. 74] sent
down but a few Days Before the meeting required, if at all: that he has been presented for his
omission to attend and fined in the heavy Sum of twenty pounds, which Sum is very incon-
venient for him to pay, and it appears by the transcript from the Clerk of Prince Georges County
that the said fine was laid at June Court 1790. The Board on consideration of the Circum-
stances, and four of the Justices of the said County having recommended the Petitioner, do
order and direct that the said fine of twenty pounds be remitted upon all the Costs arising on the
said Presentment being paid

what repairs were necessary to be done to the said Warehouse, and the Petitioner having
engagements upon hand of a very urgent nature it was determined that Mr McDaniel should
attend the Magistrates of Prince Georges County [p. 75] at their meeting under the
Act to regulate the Inspection of Tobacco, passed November 1789, that Mr McDaniel did
attend at Upper Marlbro upon the Magistrates at their meeting, upon the Day appointed by
Law and the Petitioner did not know that the Act required his actual attendance, that had he
known it he should have shewn due Obedience to the Law, altho' he must have sustained a heavy
loss by so doing for being at that time in the line of Inn-keeping and having a large and
numerous meeting on the same Day at his house by an engagement entered into long before the
passage of the said Act his presence was absolutely required at his own house, that in conse-
quence of his non attendance on the day appointed he was presented and fined in the heavy sum
of twenty pounds, which fine he finds very inconvenient to pay, and it appears by the transcript
from the Clerk of the said County that the said fine was laid at April term 1792. The Board on
consideration of the Circumstances and having the recommendation of two of the Associate
