The Petition of the Subscribers, Citizens of Will County, respectfully Showeth: That the act entitled “an act to incorporate the Town of Juliet, and to define its boundaries”, approved 1st. March 1837, among other things, authorises

the revenue arising from the licensing of Stores to Said Will County, and your Petitioners, as in duty bound, will every pray &c[et cetera].
