Memorial Justices Court Lincoln County.

Commonwealth of Massachusetts To the Honorable the Senate, and the Honorable House of Representatives, in General Court assembled

October 4, 1782

The Memorial of the Justices of the Court of General Sessions of the peace, within the County of Lincoln, humbly sheweth,

That in the year 1778, there was a small Tax assessed upon the Inhabitants of this County, which was insufficient to discharge the Debts then against the County, since which there has been no Tax assessed, except One in the Year 1780, which was chiefly collected and paid into the Treasury in Money of the old Emission, which is now in the Hands of the Treasurer,- by Reason whereof, the County is now greatly in Debt; a proper and particular Estimate of which, it is impossible to lay before your Honors in Season, so that an Assessment may be made at the said Court of General Sessions of the Peace which now stands adjourned to the third Tuesday in November next; and unless they can then make an Assessment, it must necessarily be delayed till next June, and will be more than a Year before any Money can be collected and paid into the Treasury, which would be very detrimental to the country and involve them in many Difficulties - They therefore pray that they may, at said Court to be held on the third Tuesday of November next, be impowered to assess the Sum of five hundred pounds upon the several Towns and plantations within said County towards discharging the Debts and necessary Expences of said County, which Sum, upon the best Computation they are at present able to make, will be wanted (and indeed will be insufficient) to discharge the Demands now against the County, exclusive of what may arise before another Assessment can be made, And as in Duty bound &c
