the Crime was Felony and, when at the same time the Prisoner and Prosecutor Stood together before him the sd. Justice
And the prosecutor Offered to give Evidence and the Prisoner has Contest the Fact. But the payment of the sd. Shilling being
often disputed he the said Justice has Pretended that neither he himself or the Constable could Act Safely without taking
out such Warrant and sometimes the sd. Justice has required the Presecutor moreover to pay the Constable Six pence for
Serving such Warrant.

That Sometimes the Prosecutor has not been able to pay for such Warrant and the Constable (to get mid of his
Prisoner) has been obliged to Lend the Shilling.
