the sd. Silver Crispin< no role > This name instance is in a workspace. being also the Raker of the sd. Parishes did on the 15th
Day of this Instant June exhibit their Complaint in Writing to us the
said Justices signed by them respectively therein (amongst other things)
Seting forth to the purport & effect following; That they had Contracted &
agreed for Cleansing & taking away the Dirt Dust Ashes Etc. out of & from the
Streets, Lanes, Alleys Etc in the sd. Parishes for the time being; in such Manner
as they conceived would be very Advantagious to the sd. Parishes and
greatly lesson the Scavengers Rates;thereAnd therein further Set forth that
they had fixed upon a Piece of Ground for a Laystall at the Bottom of
Grays Inn Lane on the East Side thereof in the Parish of St. Pancras in
the sd. County in the Possession & Occupation of Mr. Danl. Harrisson Brickmaker
as a Convenient & vacant Place for Lodging Dirt Dust & as they believed
and that proper & due application had been made to the said Daniel
Harrisson< no role > to treat with him to Rent part of the said Land for sd. Laystall
But the sd. Danl. Harrisson had Neglected & Refused to Comply with the
propositions by them made for that purpose & wod. Set no Rent or Value upon the
same; Tho the sd. Danl. was not only the Occupier of the sd. Land but the
Owner thereof for a long term of years as was alledged; By reason whereof
the Streets Etc. could not be Cleansed & the Dirt carried away for want of a
Convenient Place to lay the same; and that part of the sd. Field had been
used as a Laystall & was a Vacant & publick place near the sd. Streets Etc.
and Convenient for the Accomedacon of the Country Carts; Therefore the
sd. Scavengers conceiving themselves greatly aggrieved by the sd. Daniel
Harrisson
