To the Worshipful Court of Augusta now sitting: We, the inhabitants of this County,
have long felt the smart of the great indulgence the ordinary keepers of this County have met with
in allowing them to sell such large quantities of rum and wine at an extravagant rate, by which our
money is drained out of the County, for which we have no return but a fresh supply to pick our
pockets. We, your petitioners, humbly pray your worship to put a stop to the said liquors, which
would encourage us to pursue our laborious designs, which is to raise sufficient quantities of grain
which would sufficiently supply us with liquors and the money circulate in this County to the
advantage of us, the same. We hope that your worships will discover to us that you have a real
regard for the good of the County, and lay us under an obligation to pray for your prosperity.
