The Petition of sundry of the inhabitants of Davidson County

Your petitioners, beg leave to State, altho there is a law, which rests it in the power of the several county courts, to grant roads, & ferrys, in such cases, that are deemed of public utility - Yet the intention, of said law, is often defeated by certain combinations, which admit of an appeal to the superior Court - They beg leave to cite as an instance thereof- That Mathew Brooks obtained an order of Court which was sanctioned, by a majority of said court consis =ting of twenty nine majistraes - But the ???? who had opposed it, had cajoled the court in to an appeal to the superior court, whereby it was submitted, to two of the Judges, whether the will of the County should be gratified, who were well acquainted with the circumstances - The result was that the said Brooks, and an immense majority of your petitioners, are defeated in the purpose of having said ferry established - Wherefore they pray an Act of your honourable assembly to enable & authorize the said Brooks to open and establish a ferry at ^or near the upper end of Waynesborough, on Cumberland river -
