Your Comittee having also inspected the Laws relating
to this Rate Do find that by the 27th. of Eliz (13 This
Rate after Execution had on any one Inhabitant is
to be assessed on every Parish by two Justices and on
every Inhabitant within each parish by the Constables
& Head boroughs, who are to levy it by distress & sale &

for whose use it was raised. But there being noe

the Comittee, presume they may be bound over and
Indicted, and this as farr as appears to us is the only
remedy agt. them.

Comission that the City & liberty of Westmr. are always
assessed & pay their Quota to the Rates for Maimed
Soldiers & Marriners, Marshalsea Kings Bench and
Hospitals, and Bridges, as also to Robberies, if within
the Hundred of Ossulston , Westmr. lying in that Hundred
But tho' they are constantly assest, they do not at
present, nor have they for about 10 or 12 Years past
contributed or paid any Quota or share towards the Rates
for passing Vagrants or for repairs of the House of
Correction at Clerkenwell , they passing their owne
Vagrants and having a Bridewell of their own, It being
in this manner settled by Agreemt. between the County
and Citty about Eleven Years since, which agreemt. having
been complyed with on both Parties ever since and still
