same into his Serious Consideracon & being desirous to put a Stop as much
as in him lyeth, to a Custom so destructive of the Health Morals and
Industry of his Subjects & to the peace of his Kingdom, And being sensible
that the faithful and deligent Execution of the said Laws would effectually
remedy the said Evil We therefore in His Majestys Name and by his
Express Commands pray and require Your Grace to recommend it to
and press it in the strongest manner upon the Justices of the peace
within the County of Middlesex & City & Libty of Westminster that
they use their utmost endeavours to Carry all the said Laws into
Execution and more especially that they take particular Care not to
grant Licences for Selling Ale or Spirituous Liquors to any but
such as are Strictly Qualifyed according to Law and as are not
known to be Guilty of any disorderly practices or likely to Suffer
them in their Houses And that they do call before them the
High Constables and petty Constables and allthemother Officers under
their direction and give them the Strictest Orders not to Suffer any
persons to Sell Spirituous Liquors in the Streets or other prohibited
places And to be very Industrious in discovering apprehending
and bringing to punishment all persons Guilty of the said Vice of
Drunkenness and other offences prohibited by the said Laws. And
so not doubting of Your ready Compliance herewith, we did
Your Grace very Heartily Farewell from the Councill Chamber
at White Hall the Thirty First Day of March 1743

Your Graces very Loving Friends

To His Graze
