WHEREAS Complaint hath this Day been made
unto us two of His Majestys's Justices of the
Peace for this City, and the Liberties thereof (Quorum
unus) by you the Churchwardens and Overseers of
the Poor of the Parish of Saint Catherine Coleman
London, That Martha Nixon Widdow of John
Nixon
< no role > deceas'd is lately intruded into

your said Parish not having obtained any
legal Settlement there, and is likely to become charge-
able thereto by reason of Poverty
unless timely prevented,
which Complaint we adjudge to be true. And forasmuch
as it appears unto us by the Oath of the said Martha
Nixon that att the time of the Deaths of King
Charles the Second & by the Space of Forty days
before that time & Some Months after her said
Husband was an Inhabitant in the said Parish
of Saint Andrew Undershaft London & hath
not obtain d. any subsequent Settlement. We the said Ju-
stices are therefore of Opinion, and do adjudge the last
legal Settlement of the said Martha Nixon< no role >
to be in the said
Parish of Saint Andrew Undershaft 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 Martha

not, and this shall be your Warrant. Given under our
