the County of Middlesex (one whereof being of the
Quorum), by the Church-Wardens and Overseers of the
Poor of the Parish of Chiswick
in the said County, That George Shepperd< no role > Aged about
Thirty five Years and Elizabeth< no role > his Wife
are
lately come into the Said Parish, endeavouring to Settle
there, contrary to Law. And it appeareth unto us the

mination of the Premises taken upon Oath, and other Cir-
cumstances, it further appeareth unto us, and we do like-
wife adjudge, that the Parish of South Benfleet in the
County of Essex
is the Place of the last legal
Settlement of the said George Shepperd< no role > and that
of her said Wife

Philip Dyot< no role >

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 Chiswick
forthwith to remove and convey the said George Shepperd< no role > and
his said Wife together with Mary< no role > Aged four Years and upwards the
Child of the said Elizabeth for Narture

of the Poor there, or to some or one of them, who are
hereby required to provide for them according to Law.
