Petition seeking Flood Gates on Back Creek in Norfolk.

• imprint_number: 1805.067
• title: To the Speaker and Members of the House of Delegates ... inhabitants of the borough of Norfolk ...
• sequence_number: 67
• year: 1805
• place_issued: Norfolk
• issuing_press: Uncertain
• author: Inhabitants of the Borough of Norfolk.
• notes: Petitioners asked that act authorizing "the lower bridge on Back Creek" be amended to allow the fitting of flood gates there; the Assembly declined to act on the request at this session, but did make such changes at the ensuing session of December 1806.
  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.
