MAY 1834 TERM

Before fixing the rate for taxation for the ensuing year for county revenue, the following named Justices of the Peace appeared and took their seats as members of this Board:

Issac Heaton, President; James Bolden, Henry Littlejohn, Joseph Cochran, Samuel Oram, Isaac Teal and James Killough.

George Hicks recieved an order for $1 for a wolf-scalp

John Ridgely, a colored man, was allowed 12 1/2 cents for wood furnished this court and "now upon motion of said Ridgely, by Adams, his attorney, said allowance is offered to the county, which is now accepted by the board". (This was done because John Ridgely was so outraged and insulted at the amount allowed him as he was due 37 cents, that he hired a white attorney to speak for him in returning said allowance to the court.)

It was ordered that the south half of the Public Graveyard be appropriated to the use of the public.
