AUGUST, 1789
Andrew Donnolly, of Greenbrier, vs. Hugh Millar.--In October, 1785,
the General Assembly appropriated funds to build a road from eastern to
western waters and defendant became contractor and plaintiff was his
partner. The road was from Greenbrier C. H. to the Kenoway. The people
themselves divided the whole county into thirteen districts, and each
district elected a parson to form a committee to superintend the business. The
committee appointed Hugh Millar foreman to undertake on behalf of the
people and went security in the bond for his performance and took bond of
him with condition that equal justice might be done to all. The committee
divided the road into thirteen parts, that each individual might work out
the tax he was in arrears. At the dividing, Colonel Donnelly told the
committee he owed the treasury £170 of taxes due for 1782 as sheriff, and that
he thought himself included in the law. Committee refused to grant a
certificate to Donnelly because he did not make it appear that he was in the
law, etc. (a full account of the transactions). At a meeting of the committee
