ought to be restrained, being found by long Experience to inflame
the Blood, and prompt those who deal in them to greater Securities
in the Correction of those under their Power, and therefore may
probably have the like Effect upon the present Street Robbers, who
are known generally to drink freely of these Liquors before they
venture on these Exploits. And this is the only way we can account
for those Cruelties which are now exercised on the Persons robbed
and which before the excessive Use of these Liquors were never
known in this Nation.

That some more effectual Meshed be taken for receiving
into the Land & Sea Service & Securing therein such Persons as
shall be apprehended by Parish Officers against whom no particular
Crime can be proved, but who are well known to be dangerous
and justly suspected of taking Criminal Courses for their Livelyhood
such persons having been too often refused tho' able Bodied &
fit for any service abroad & that they be sent accordingly by the
first opportunity to some distant & proper places where they
may be best taken Care of & be ofthegreatest Use,

That Application be made to the Parliament next sessions
for an Act or Acts.

Against those who sell any Strong Liquors by Retail without
a License or after their Licenses are Supprest or refused to be
renewed, the present Laws being found by Experience to be very insufficient
great Numbers continuing to sell after their Licenses are
determined or supprest, and against the positive Orders of the
Justices, and we conceive no Method will be so effectual as to
give the Justices in their Special Sessions power to committ
them to Goal for a limitted time.

Against those who harbour Inmates, especially such as are
loose idle & disorderly or reputed to be Thieves or Vagabonds
who live by pilfering or cheating, there being at present no Law
for the speedy & effectual punishment of them.

Against Persons who walk the Streets with Cuttashes Hangers, Bludyers
or other dangerous Weapons & cannot give any good Account of themselves.

For regulating the Nightly Watch, for which there is no live in
force but the Old Statute of Winchester which is of no Use or service,
as it takes place only from Ascension Day to Michaelmas.

For obliging all Housekeepers who pay to the Poors Rate to pay
also to the Publick Lamps, It being found by Experience that the Inhabitants
hanging out Lights of their own does not answer the End in regard of
the number of empty Houses & of Persons out of Town in the dark Quarters
between Michaelmas & Christmas when there is the greatest Occassion for them
& of those who as hang out Lights of their own, few light them so soon or letletthem burn solong as they ought.

As several of the Particulars abovenamedmentioned within our Jurisdiction we shall use our utmost Endeavours to present the Offences or Punish the Offenders,
But the Charges & Difficulties attending legal Prosecutions of this Nature particularly against Gaming Houses are so great that work now by Experience it will not
be in our Power without further Assistance from Parliament or otherwise to do the service that might be referred from us.

All which Particulars are submitted to the Consideration of your Grace, & are Ordered by the Justices now assembled in their Quarter Sessions to
be signed in their Names by the Clerk of the Peace.
