Mr. Justice Green

May it Please Yor. Worship to Permit a Poor
Man in Distress to the to Yor. Equity & Humanity for Protection
not from Justice nor the Laws of the Land, but from such as are
a Dishonour to both for while Yor. Worships humble Petitioner
was secking Satisfaction for ill Usage from the Law his Attorney
Robert Pidgeon< no role > his fraudulently brought him to much trouble
and Expence to no purpose. For though he had 3 Pounds 12 shills.
and 6 Pence of yor. Petitioner yet he was disappointed the 21st of
October last when his Cause should have been tried, for want of a
Brief He had also 8 Shillings of yor Worships Petitioner
for a Subpena which he took not out of Court. He has also in
Public Company called Yr Worships humble Petitioner Rogue
Thief and other ill Named for not Letting him have still
more Money on false Pretences. But not to trouble yor. Worship
with two ledious a Raital of all then his Attorneys unfair
Practices. Yor. Petitioner after having been made to spend 20pd
to no Purpose at all, and not able to raise any More Money
by Pawning or Borrowing, has been oblidged to drop all hopes
of satisfaction of his Artversary and agree with him to drop the
Affair. And yet after all Yor. Worships humble Petitioner
cannot get quit of she Law without seeing a Counsel, because
he has, they say pleaded Guilty, though Yor Worship's
Petitioner is really guilty of Nothing but only of not forgiving
his Adversary sooner Therefore if for the Honour of,
the Law, and the Gratification of Yor. Worships own
innate Humanity you can assist Yor humble Petitioner,
in getting out of the hands of his Oppressors, he will be ever
bound to pray
