Or the Vice President of the Republic of Texas, &c. &c. &c.
The Petition of the undersigned a Committe appointed at a Public meeting this day held in the Town of Victoria to consider upon the propriety of a Representation to Government concerning the office of chief Justice of the County of San Patricio by the ritizens of the sa[idl County. Humblv Showeth · That Col: A- Ferguison the present chief Justice of the said County has as your committee fully believe from the information obtained by them adopted a course of conduct inconsistent with the duties of that office. That he has leagued himself politically with certain persons whose course of procedure is inimical to the inter- ests and the rights of San Patricio County and of the Republic. That he has received Horses and money from those persons to pro- ceed to Austin to represent them in that city! That at the Election for county officers lately held in San Patricio the said chief Justice was resident at the Ranch of Kenny & Austin at Corpus Christi and held no Election in that precinct although there were many citizens there. That your committe have lost all confidence in Col: A Fergnison as a public officer or as a private Gentleman and deem any. representations that he might make at Head quarters as totally unworthy the credence or the notice of Government. And lastly your committe Humbly pray your Excellency that the said Col: A. Ferguison be removed from the said office of chief Justice of the Countv of San Patricio and that Micheal Healy be appointed his successor: · And your Committe as in duty bound will Ever pray.
