Dear Sir
[[Waugh, Arthur, 1866-1943|Mr. Waugh]] had been a [[Notary publics|notary pub-lic]] for several years previous to 1856 when he was again appointed – he neglected to file a new bond but [?] on to and as a notary public, his business being principally confined to [?] protest and kindred matters. In this department he is particularly competent and entirely familiar with com-munal usages and customs.
For ability without bond, he was reported to the [[Grand jury|grand Jury]] by another adjuster of averages, and indited under section 127 of the code – he plead guilty and the fine was assessed of five hundred dollars.
His bond now filed is as good as one can be made.
In my opinion the code of justice will not be subserved by the collection of this fine, and I should be very glad to see it remitted. Had thus been discussion with the petty jury it would have been nominal I think, and the grand Jury seat for Mr. Waugh for an explanation before [?] him but he <s> was <s> did not get to the court house until just as they adjourned
Yours respectfully
Robert B. Amisbrl
