To Hon Mayor and Alderman of the City of St. Augustine.
Gentlemen:
I was summoned to do patrol duty on the night of the 8th inst. but from the indisposition of myself
and the person who was to go in my place failed to do so, and therefore pray that your honorable
body will remit the fine against me as I am ready at all times to perform a duty so much called for in
this place. It was not because that Mr. Quincy was Capt of my patrol that I did not attend but I do
beg that your hon' body on the person appointing the patrol would transfer me to another
detachment of the patrol as I am altogether unwilling to serve under him.
And you will confer a favor on one who is willing to serve you in all things Joshua Joyner Sept 26th

To the Honorable the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of St. Augustine
Your Petitioner
Respectfully showed that twice since your honorable boy has been at the head of the city affairs he
has been called upon to do patrol duty and that having failed to perform the same he has been twice
summoned before the Mayor's court and fined and that your petitions is now further informed that
the collection of said fines is sought to be enforced by process against his person.
Your petitions would therefore beg to state that his failure to attend patrol has not arisen from any
feeling of disrespect to your honorable body but from his belief that the office which he hold of
inspector of the Customs exempted him from such duty which belief has been conformed by the
conduct of your predecessors towards your petitions has ? his appointment he was never until the
organization of the present board called upon to perform ? the same.
This petitioner has been the more inclined to avail himself of this exemptions from the sickness which
has prevailed in his family for the last six months which must have prevented him from performing
patrol in person and the belief which he entertained made him neglect to procure a substitute.
Your petitioners now prays therefore that the fines imposed on him may be remitted. and in
consideration of the same although still truly and firmly believing himself exempt from any liability to
perform patrol your petitions hereby promises and agrees to perform. Hereafter such duty either in
person or substitute with the understanding however that should this question be tried and decided in
favor of his exemption of the Honorable Judge of the Superior Court then your petitions should be
discharged from his present promise and agreement.
And your petitioner will ever ? etc.

Patrol was all present last night Three men of color was taken up viz:
Wm and Tonny Clark (two free men) and William belonging to Gen Hernandez. An assault was
made on the patrol by a man named Friedman a soldier who attends to the US garden near Mr.
Francis Andreu's house. Bob Bola seems was his accomplices because when Freedman came
towards me I discovered Bola behind me in an attitude to strike, when they left us he joined the
soldier in abusing and swearing in consequence of that languages together with the loud talking I
judge they were disturbing the peace of the city.

Summons at Capt - Patrol from Sunday evening Dec 21 1841 appeared at the ringing of the bell 9
o'clock. Reports that on one appeared up to 10 o'clock except Mr. Llambias as a substitute for
Peter Manucy.
The night being very cold the streets were generally quiet and people in doors.
I have generally found the people that have been summoned are unwilling to turn out and says the call
interferes with their pursuits and pleasures

To Hon Mayor and Alderman of the City of St. Augustine.
Gentlemen:
I was summoned to do patrol duty on the night of the 8th inst. but from the indisposition of myself
and the person who was to go in my place failed to do so, and therefore pray that your honorable
body will remit the fine against me as I am ready at all times to perform a duty so much called for in
this place. It was not because that Mr. Quincy was Capt of my patrol that I did not attend but I do
beg that your hon' body on the person appointing the patrol would transfer me to another
detachment of the patrol as I am altogether unwilling to serve under him.
And you will confer a favor on one who is willing to serve you in all things Joshua Joyner Sept 26th

To the Honorable the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of St. Augustine
Your Petitioner
Respectfully showed that twice since your honorable boy has been at the head of the city affairs he
has been called upon to do patrol duty and that having failed to perform the same he has been twice
summoned before the Mayor's court and fined and that your petitions is now further informed that
the collection of said fines is sought to be enforced by process against his person.
Your petitions would therefore beg to state that his failure to attend patrol has not arisen from any
feeling of disrespect to your honorable body but from his belief that the office which he hold of
inspector of the Customs exempted him from such duty which belief has been conformed by the
conduct of your predecessors towards your petitions has ? his appointment he was never until the
organization of the present board called upon to perform ? the same.
This petitioner has been the more inclined to avail himself of this exemptions from the sickness which
has prevailed in his family for the last six months which must have prevented him from performing
patrol in person and the belief which he entertained made him neglect to procure a substitute.
Your petitioners now prays therefore that the fines imposed on him may be remitted. and in
consideration of the same although still truly and firmly believing himself exempt from any liability to
perform patrol your petitions hereby promises and agrees to perform. Hereafter such duty either in
person or substitute with the understanding however that should this question be tried and decided in
favor of his exemption of the Honorable Judge of the Superior Court then your petitions should be
discharged from his present promise and agreement.
And your petitioner will ever ? etc.
Very respectfully

Patrol was all present last night Three men of color was taken up viz:
Wm and Tonny Clark (two free men) and William belonging to Gen Hernandez. An assault was
made on the patrol by a man named Friedman a soldier who attends to the US garden near Mr.
Francis Andreu's house. Bob Bola seems was his accomplices because when Freedman came
towards me I discovered Bola behind me in an attitude to strike, when they left us he joined the
soldier in abusing and swearing in consequence of that languages together with the loud talking I
judge they were disturbing the peace of the city.
