________
Connie Beachy <CBeachy@mail2.gcnet.net> found these documents 
from a court case involving Robert Hamilton and Wm. Willison, Jr., 
at the Maryland Archives, location #8-0-50-12-37, Box 22

She suspects Hamilton was posting bond for his brother in law, Willison.
She only found scraps of paper in the boxes, never an entire trial.  From 
the complaint, it seems that Mr Willison was causing trouble for Mr House,
so Mr House filed a complaint, and Mr Willison had to visit the Justice of
the Peace, Mr North.
