And that he by
any meanes whatsoever hath
not obtaind any subsequent Settlement. We the said Ju-
stices are therefore of Opinion, and do adjudge the last
legal Settlement of the said Eleanor Ball and her said
six Childrento be in the said
Parish of Chobham in the said County of Surryand
that thitherto they ought by Law to be sent.
THESE are therefore in His Majesty's Name to re-
quire You to remove and convey the said Eleanor Ball
