the Poor of the Parish of St Gregory
London, That

their two Children
Sarah< no role >
aged abt. three Years &
Elizabeth< no role >
aged about one year are lately come
out
into
your said Parish not having obtained any
legal Settlement there, and are likely to become charge
able thereto by reason of their poverty
unless timely prevented,
which Complaint we adjudge to be true. And forasmuch
as it appears unto us by the Oath of the said Abigail that
her said Husband was an House keeper at the
rent of twenty & four pounds P ann about four
months ago in the parish of St. Anne & Agnes
within Aldersgate
London & by any and are

stices are therefore of Opinion, and do adjudge the last
legal Settlement of the said Abigail Hewett & her said
two Children Sarah & Elizabeth to be in the said
parish of St. Anne & Agnes London and
that thitherto they ought by Law to be sent.
