to the Statute of the Second and third of the late King William
and Queen Mary made for paveing and cleanseing the Streets
within the said limits, which this Court is of opinion are at
all times a very great Annoyance to his Majestys Subjects
and must be very dangerous if God Almighty should Visit
Us with any Contagious Distemper, And therefore It is the
Opinion of this Court that the said Statute be strictly putt in
Execution against all Persons whatsoever who keep
Hogs in the manner aforesaid

That by the said last mentioned Statute there are likewise
Several Penaltys inflicted upon the Inhabitants for not
paveing their Doors and Sweeping up the Dirt, (as well as
upon the Rakers and Scavengers for not taking it away)
and also for not cleaning and carrying away the Filth
and Soile from the several Markets, Extracts of Which
Laws have been lately printed and delivered to the
Inhabitants and Parish Officers that they might be
apprized of the Penaltys they incurred, Yet experience
hath Shewed that all those steps have not had the good
effect which might have been expected from them,
This Court is therefore of Opinion that (as the keeping the
Streets and Markets paved and clean are very great
preservatives against Infection) nothing would soe much
Contribute to excite People to their Duty at this time, As
the Justices in their respective Districts taking a person all
View of the Streets and Pavements and convicting on such
View all Offenders in the premisses, But that the
Inhabitants may have a reasonable time for making
good their Pavements This Court doth think fit and
Order that the High Constables Petty Constables and
Headboroughs in the several Divisions within the
said Weekly Bills of Mortality do go through their respective
Districts and give notice to the Inhabitants of the days the
Justices intend to take such Views (which days the Justices are
hereby desired to appoint for the purpose) And that in Case
their Pavements and Ground before their Houses are not well
