Livingston's petition contesting Royal Collector Thomas Weaver's decision to revoke all "warrants" granted to Livingston. These warrants, which are payments for Livingston's expenditures in victualling the troops at Albany and other such layings-out of money on the Provincial Government's behalf, are vital to Livingston's finances as he had "exhausted his means to support the credit of the Government." Docketed on verso.
