Recognizance in the Sum of twenty pounds Current Money for the appearance of Nathaniel
Micks at the August term of the Court of Oyer and Terminer for the said County to
answer a Presentment and Indictment for receiving stolen goods, that the said Micks has
since absconded, by which the Petitioner's Recognizance has become forfeited, that he has
expended a considerable Sum of Money in pursuit of the Said Micks without effect, and
therefore prays a Remission of the forfeiture—the Petition is accompanied by a Court tran-
script certifying the proceeding—and by a Recommendation from three Justices of the afore-
said Court who certify their belief in the facts set forth. It is moreover represented that he
Supports an aged Father and Mother, and that he has lost a debt due to him by Micks from
