Clerk of Courts W. S. LOCKHART, when digging into some old road papers Monday, came upon a bundle of liquor license applications and bonds. There is one petition from Nathaniel ROBINSON praying for a tavern license at Canonsburg. The Petition is dated December 25, 1808. John MCGILL was his bondsman. The application is very crude compared with those of today. James CHRISTIE, Robinson township, Nathaniel PAXTON, Hopewell township, Samuel SAYERS, Amity, David MARTIN, Mt. Pleasant township, all petition the court to recommend the governor of the State to grant a renewal of the license that they held at that time. All are addressed to "To the Honorable Samuel ROBERTS, Esq., President, and his associates of the Court of General Quarter Sessions." Bonds are given by each in the sum of 50 pounds. John MOSIER petitions for a license at a tavern in Strabane township. The papers bear no term number.
