1t being somewhat useless for me tc
write on this question, as am but little
advanced in law, which needs much to be
said in regard to Law points. However
think it very imprudent to use partiality
inasmuch as there has been some men
who have been keeping tavern in the town
Of Jackson, and other villages in the coun-
ty, for some three years or more, without
license, which was known to the officers as
well as the men who kept public houses
did themselves. You may say what you
please to the public, but it is evident to all
that you certainly knew all the public
houses that was kept and also from your
returns that only two or three have paid
for license in the last three years, and then
for man to come out and say to the pub
lie that he is sworn to do as the law re-
quires, or violate his oath and forfeit his
bond, and then select one, two, and three,
men out from some eight or ten, who are
on the same footing, all keepers of public
houses in the county of Jackson, and put
them three in prison Or give security. If
this kind of conduct is going according to
mans oath, if it is so curious to the pub
lie, think if man wishes to fill his oath
and office he surely would go the whole
hog or stop before starting such proceed
ings. think that in the eyes of the pub
lie it would look more like filling an oath
and office for man to go according tolaw
and miLd his own business, and not 90 ac-
cording to the feelings and spite, for the
sake OF revenge; man causes civil people
to be put to great deal of trouble, who
are trying to live by the laws of our coun-
try and mind there own business, think
it would be much more pleasantfor officers
that wishes men to live by the laws OF our
State, when they see that they are living
against the laws, or in violation thereof, il
should look more like christian to 90 to
our taverns and let those men know that
they had to have license, there would not
have been word nor hard feelings, but
instead of that three men must be singled
out separate from all the rest and be put
in prison, or give security for their appear
ance at court, causing them to be put to a
great deal Of trouble, and to spend their
money or throw it away to lawyers, to keep
them from being unjustly dealt with; and
not only that but causing thecounty to run
a few dollars more in debt. If this is the
sort Of Attorneys we have all over the
State, what will become of it, or when
will our State be out of debt, The above
has happened and can be denied, and tell
the truth as man should do.
