at an Inn for these last twenty-three days without any
funds in my hands and for want of funds I cannot
proceed or look for any other employment
under such circumstances your Honours will
will perceive that my case is a pitiable one
and one that requires immediate attention.

I believe there are only two Magistrates in the district
viz A.W. Manning Esq Warangan 35 miles from
Dalby and J.C. White Esq. Johndaryan 25 Miles -

My case is not a solitary one at the Bench of Dalby
for there are others which meet with the same
difficulties. Therefore your Honour will
prceive that some different arrangements
is much required for the Bench of Dalby
in order that the poor working man can obtain
justice with less expense and inconvenience
than is at present in practice. Waiting the favour
of your reply per return of Post

I remain Hon'ble Sir
Your ob't & humble Serv't
Wm Parrington
Post Office Dalby-
