The city, now with a population of 64,000, put in a petition to become the new state capital.

In his petition of 6 June 1699 he describes himself as having a large family.

He says he'll get involved in petitions and even "speak to the government" if necessary.

The group put the words "immediate effect" in its petition.

In a petition, the farmers asked for help from the emperor.

I am just on my way to hand in a written petition for this purpose.

Over the last seven years, he has sent in his petition for a Wells stamp five or six times a year.

This resulted in a successful petition for his removal from office.

"But you can be sure she's going to put extra love in her petition to get Piscary out."

However, the committee ignored the verdict, resulting in a second petition from the movement.
