i The following petition was also re-

To to Hon. the Police Jury
ofhe Parish Of JeBerson, Left Bank.
The Memorial of the undersigned
Inhabitants and property holders in
represents, that in order to check the
intolerable evils arising from the sale
of ardent and Intoxicating spirits to-
slaves, it is indispensably necessary to-
adopt efficient measures to bring the
offenders to justice; that the democrat
ling effects resulting from this illegal
practice is growing to such an extent.
! as to render the slaves in this Parish
, | ~, aot ncolncs RI thar
masters, and to make their discipline
and government extremely difficult,
| Your Memorialists have reason to
believe that there are many dram
shops in the Parish where grog is
dealt out to their slaves in exchange
3 of stolen property of every des-
= cription, and there they are instigated
t to insubordination and disobedience !;
that the utmost vigilance of your memo
D rialists cannot guard against the loss
4 and danger drising from this deplorabE,
= state of things. Your memorialisS
n would therefore most respectfully SUD
y gest to your honorable body, the advaIS,

e pointment of certain number, say two
or three policemen, whose duty it should
:. be, in conjunction with the Syndic, to
