whence the place where the market begun was uncertain, But by<lb></lb>
the description of the Toll post in the Act and which the Committee <lb></lb>
were led to believe stood over against a house formerly Coventry house<lb></lb>

and in regard that no Cart usually stood so high<lb></lb>
the Committee were of Opinion, That a Toll post ought to be set down<lb></lb>

Yards of Square Pavement had been repaired out of the Toll<lb></lb>
more than in the Opinion of the Committee ought to have been<lb></lb>
which was one great cause of the then debt That the increase of<lb></lb>
the buildings in the out parts of the Town thro' which the farmers <lb></lb>

the Toll had decreased it having produced only the last Four<lb></lb>
