To Samuel Swann Esqr Speaker and the Rest of the Worshipfull Members of ^(the) Assembly of North Carolina

The humble Petition of Joseph Williams Sheweth

That your Petitioner having for Several years past exercised the Office of Sheriff of Duplin County Whereby he became a Debtor to the Public in a large Sum of Money for Public Taxes, But meeting with Misfortunes he is Rendered unable, at this time, to Discharge the Balance of £229.2.1 which is due from him, without great Detriment to himself and Family as he hath already been obliged to Dispose of Several Valuable Slaves in order to reduce the Debt to what it now is; And as there is a Judgment against him and Execution in the hands of the Sheriff to Levy on him the aforesd Balance

Your Petitioner therefore humbly prays That the Assembly will give of him Twelve Months to pay the said Balance in; And be pleased to Direct that the Execution may be Countermanded. And as in Duty Bound Your Petr shall ever pray Mr Joseph Williams
