Bream [..] 13th June 1776
Office of Clerk of the Peace for the
County of Middlesex 13th, June 1776

Sir

Pursuant to your desire I take the earliest opportunity to acknowledge the
receipt of one hundred printed Copies of the Act of parliament for obliging Overseers of the
poor to make returns upon Oath relative to the State of their poor, But, as it is the intention
of parliament that all the Acting Justices of the peace within the County should have one
Copy of the said Act, I beg the favour of you to Transmit to me as many more, otherwise
the distribution amongst the Justices of the peace for this County must be a very partial
one, as there are near Two hundred Gentlemen who have Qualified as Justices of the peace
for Middlesex , and at some time or other Act in parochial Concerns.

I Observe in your printed Letter to me that you desire I would Charge the
High Constables to be careful in giving the Schedules to the Overseers of the poor of the several
parishes and places within the Cities of London and Westminster With respect to Westminster
it being a member of the County of Middlesex I can fulfill your directions; but as to the
City of London , as clerk of the peace for the County of Middlesex , I have no concern whatever
with it, and therefore it will be necessary, if not already done, to Transmit a number of the Acts
to the Town Clerk of that City: I have taken the Liberty to mention this Circumstance, lest
any mistake might have ensued from it

I am
Sir
Your very hble Servt.
