Case

A rents a Capital Messuage or Mansion House
in the City (late in Merchants) at £105 Pr. Ann
when he exercises his Trade of a Cabinet Maker
and to set case with Respect to the Kent A. lets
out Part of this Capital. Messuage reads
furnish'd to three eminent Merchants and
Partners at £52 Pr. Ann.

Two of these Partners and their Man
Servant lay in the House have their Compting
House and Bed Chamber's and other Apartments
(the no Warehouses) and carry on an extensive
Trade as Merchants in Baying selling and
Remitting.

Note: There is but one large Gate-way or Entry
to this House and the Merchants Compting
House and Apartments lay backwards towards
the Garden and are separate or detached as it were
from the Rest of the House or their better
conveniency.

It is an Evil complain'd of and hart fall
to the Consonalty in general that Merchants in
the City of London (Natives as well as Foreigners)
who raise large Fortunes for themselves and
Family by Trade should take this Method (as
they frequently do) to screen themselves (as
Lodgers or Inmates) from serving Ward or
Parish Offices or Paying to Church and Poor
whereby a due Rotation is prevented and the
Weight and Burdon falls the heavier upon others
of the Parish who are often lessable to serve or pay.
