   To the honble the Speaker & Gentlemen of the House of Delegates - 

   The Petition of John Quarles humbly sheweth - That your Petitioner did in Consequence of the
orders of
King William Court in favour of Soldiers Wives & Children in the Service of their Country, pay
to the sd
Persons such Sums as were respectively given by the sd Court to each Person by Names - Your
Petitioner
did this is Consequence of an Assurance of having the sd Sums repaid to him by the Treasurer -
but upon
presenting the sd Accts to the Auditors, great part of the Allowances given by the Court have
been dis-
alowed to the Prejudice of your Petitioner - He therefore prays the Honourable House to take
his Case
into Consideration & to give such relief as to them may appear just & your Petitioner will ever
pray &c.
