Taylor County Court of Ordinary
April Term 1868

pg 280

The petition of Lucius Q.C. McCrary respectfully showeth that he is one of the
securities in the Bond of Henry R. McCrary as Administrator of the Estate of
Andrew McCants dec'd of said County. And your petitioned further shows that the
country is in a very unsettled condition and that its laws have been made
subordinate to the will of a military dictator where orders are mercilessly
enforced by the bayonet though they may ruin helpless wiods and dependant
orphans. Your Petitioner further shows that said Administrator has not for a
number of years made any return to your Honor of his actings and doing as said
Administrator. And while your Petitioner does not believe and therefor does not
charge that it is the intention of said Administrator to injure him, yet such,
your Petitioner, fears will be the inevitable result of the combined influence
of the aforesaid promises.

Your petitioner feels that justice requires that instead of pursuing a course
that would injure himself and family he should endeavor to provide for the wants
of that future that may bring sickness and many unforeseen evils in its train. 
Wherefore your Petitioner prays the Court to take such steps as may be necessary
to release him from all further and future liability on the said bond of Henry
R. McCrary, Administrator as aforesaid. And your Petitioner will foever pray

Lucius Q.C. McCrary

The Defendant is hereby required personally or by attorney to be and appear at
the next Court of Ordinary to be held in and for the County of Taylor on the
First Monday in April next then and there to show cause why Plaintiff's prayed
should not be granted and also to be prepared to give other security on said
Administration Bond in case Petitioners application should be granted.  This
10th day of March 1868.
