It appears by a transcript from William Gibson Clerk of Baltimore County Court, that
at January term last Simeon Leet was fined fifteen pounds Current Money for assaulting
and beating a certain David Burton; That the said Simeon Leet by his Petition sets forth
that he is aged sixty three years, has a helpless family, is incapable of paying the said fine;
and is now in Confinement for the same; And Whereas it appears from sundry papers accom-
panying the Petition that the facts set forth by the Petitioner are true, and having received
information that he has been in close Confinement for near five Months, The Board in
consideration of his poverty and his sufferings by Confinement in Goal, do direct that the
said fine of fifteen pounds be remitted.
