But the most important objection was, that the county is now in debt. And the present year taxes will not liquidate the present indebtedness of the county; for the want of money. The County is frequently greatly  inconvenienced in supplying 4 Paupers and defraying other necessary incidental expenses. To present any inconveniance to inmates of said Hospital the Hon judge Probate request that the transfer be delayed as long as consistent and as same time he will urge the commissioner to make arrangements to receive and properly provide for said inmates at earliest possible moment over
