Petition seeking Changes in Norfolk Borough Charter.

• imprint_number: 1805.064
• title: To the Speaker and Members of the House of Delegates ... inhabitants of the borough of Norfolk ...
• sequence_number: 64
• year: 1805
• place_issued: Norfolk
• issuing_press: Uncertain
• author: Inhabitants of the Borough of Norfolk.
• notes: Petitioners asked for annual election of the then appointed Mayor and compensation for the Mayor and Alderman from the public coffers; the Assembly agreed to the salary request as a provision in a revenue bill unrelated to the borough charter.
  Sheet lacks colophon; undoubtedly a Norfolk-issued imprint, but the multiplicity of presses then operating there precludes an attribution to any specific one without further evidence.
