{"value"=>"By the Sheriff of Sussex County's return of election on 2nd inst. it appeared that Luke Watson and Jonathan Boyce were chosen candidates for sheriff, James Martin and Jonathan Boyce for coroner; David Hale, Parker Robinson, and Nathaniel Young, Justices of that County, had recommended Watson for sheriff, and Martin for Coroner, being the highest in vote; Watson alone had waited on him but having no particular business for calling together the Privy Council had dismissed him with promise of appointment if the Privy Council approved; begs them to signify their opinion in writing as to persons to be commissioned, his own being in favor of Watson for Sheriff and Martin for Coroner; knows not how long he is to be kept here; Mr. Booth has Sheriff's return and Justices' recommendation to shew them."}
