Poor of the Parish of Paddington
in the said County, That a Female Child not yet
baptized born of the body of Mary Evans< no role > in or

Settlement of the said Female Child.

These are therefore in his Majesty's Name to Charge and
Command the Church-wardens and Overseers of the Poor
of the said Parish of Paddington
forthwith to remove and convey the said Female Child

from the said Parish of Paddington
