are hereunto sett Two of her Maties Justices of the Peace
for the City of London and Libties thereof (Quor unus) upon
the complaint of the Churchwardens and Overseers of the Poore
of the Parish of St. Buttolph without Bishopsgate London,

giveing notice in writing to the Sd Churchwardens and Overseers

it appears unto us that by reason of the poverty of the said

chargeable to the said Parish, And whereas it appears
unto us the said Justices upon the Oath of the sd. William Bentley< no role >

without Aldgate in the County of Middx to be the place of
last legall Settlemt. of the sd. William Bentley< no role > & Deunis his
wife, and whither by Law they ought now to be sent.
