To the honorable the General Assembly of the State of North Carolina

The petition of Moses Field of Glasgow County humbly sheweth

     That your petitioner became bound with three others as security
for Benjamin Caswell as Sheriff of Dobbs County for the Year 1788
not doubting but the said Caswell would do and perform all things
therein required, he the said Caswell having ever supported an honest
Character;  but unfortunate for your Petitioner the said Caswell
failed to settle the Public Taxes agreeable to Law for the said
Year, and hath since become Insolvent by which your Petitioner,
with the other three are liable for the whole of the Taxes of said
Year amounting to £2000 or thereabout.  Your Petitioner therefore
begs that he may be exonorated on paying onefourthpart of the
sum the said Caswell stands indebted for the aforesiad Year of
1788;  the other securities being equally able to pay their proportion
of the same, and in duty bound he will pray &c

                                                  Moses Feild
