Dear Sir

In the newly organised County Court which sit here on the 2d Monday in this month The Grand Jury found a true billagainst the said Wm Kugler for the same offence

Had I the right to try him, if so, Can he be tried for the same offence by the County Court

Please let me know what action I shall take, in case of his arrest

Respectfully
