[Petition for More Courts, 1793.]

To the Honorable the Senate and the house of Representitives in General Court convened at Concord on the first Wednesday of June 1793

This petition humbly sheweth that the subscribers, inhabitants of Canterbury, Loudon, Northfield, Bow, Pembroke & Concord, Labour under many difficulties By reason of the Courts of Judicature being held at the extreme end of the County Viz

It-That the Inhabitants are obliged to travel from 40 to 60 Miles to attend said Courts

2d That by Reason of such distance, the said inhabitants are subjected to a heavy & unreasonable Tax. —

3d-That said inhabitants do not obtain equal Justice, by Reason of their not having Jurymen from said Towns

4th That the distance from the place where the said Courts are held is such, that the Justices Residing in Said Towns cannot conveniently attend the Court of Sessions also many other Difficulties which can plainly be made to appear; and as your honors at their last Sessions in December last taking under your wise consideration the many difficulties the Inhabitants in the extreem parts of the County of Hillsboro' labour'd under, saw fit to Grant them redress, Your petitioners therefore pray your honors to Grant them redress

in like manner, or in such other way as your honors think Best, & your petitioners as in duty bound will ever pray
