WHEREAS Complaint hath this Day been made
unto us two of His Majesty's Justices of the
Peace for this City, and the Liberties thereof (Quorum
unus) by You the Churchwardens and Overseers of

London, That one Mary Roberts< no role > (widow of Thomas Roberts< no role > )

legal Settlement there, and is likely to become charge-
able thereto by reason of her Poverty

stices are therefore of Opinion, and do adjudge the present
legal Settlement of the said Mary Rooberts< no role >

Parish of St. Mary Magdalen in Milkstreet London and
that thitherto she ought by Law to be sent.

THESE are therefore in His Majesty's Name to re-
quire You to remove and convey the said Mary Roberts< no role >
