The State of Texas
Harris County

To the Sheriff of Harris County 
Greeting

Whereas, this day R. O Riley made oath before me that one Byron Porter did without any authority of law, take demand and require from him the said Riley the sum of fifty ($50) dollars in U.S. Currency & that the said was done with the wilful intent to swindle him the said O Reiley

You are hereby commanded to arrest and bring before me at my office in Houston forthwith the aforesaid Byron Porter if so he be found in your County to answer the State of Texas on a charge of swindling, against the peace and dignity of the State.

Herein fail under the penalty of the law. Witness my hand this the 11th Sept. A.D. 1866.

Signed Wm. Ferguson
