THAT the Magistrates of the different Counties, and other Jurisdictions, be
requested to make orders at their Quarter Sessions for regulating the mode and
ascertaining the allowances for apprehending and conveying Vagrants in their
respective Districts.

THAT it also be requested of the Magistrates granting Passes, that they do in the
examinations of all Vagrants, specify the places of their last Settlement or Residence,
and the circumstances which occasioned them to become Vagrants.

THAT it be recommended to the Magistrates granting Passes, to adhere to the
directions of the Act of Parliament, as to the form of the Pass; and not to prescribe
the particular mode of conveyance in the Pass, but leave the same to the discretion of
the Magistrates, in the several Counties through which the Vagrants are conveyed,
according to the condition and circumstances of the Vagrants when they arrive in
such respective Counties. And that it also be recommended to the Magistrates in
the Counties where Vagrants shall be brought by Passes, not to attend or confine
themselves to any mode of conveyance which may be directed by the original Pass,
but to vary the same as they in their discretion think proper.

THAT it be also to recommended to Magistrates granting Passes for the convey-
ance of Irish Vagrants, to order that they shall be sent to the nearest Port to the
place where they are apprehended, and from whence they may be most conveniently
shipped for Ireland.

THAT it also be represented to the different Magistrates, that when a man, his
wife and child, or children, are apprehended and taken before a Justice of the Peace
to be passed, one sum of ten shillings only, ought to be allowed in any such case to
the Constable, or other person apprehending them, and not ten shillings for each of
them; the wife in the first instance being under the influence of the husband, and
the children in the other instance being under the direction of their parents.

THAT it be also recommended to the said Justices not to allow a reward for
apprehending any person who applies for a Pass, or wants to be conveyed to the
place of his or her Settlement, or to his or her native country, or for apprehending
any person who has asked relief merely on account of his or her having been delayed
in his or her journey by bad health, or accidental misfortune, and who is in the
direct road to his or her place of settlement or native country, and can give a
good account of him or herself; the service done by the Constable in such cases
being not to the public, but to the person who is to have the benefit of being carried
home at the expence of the public.

THAT the Magistrates of the several counties and districts be desired to consider
how far they are bound by the before-mentioned Statute, to allow ten shillings each
for apprehending rogues, vagabonds, and incorrigible rogues, as a matter of course;
or whether the power of allowing that reward is not meant by the legislature to be
discretionary in the Magistrates; and whether it ought to be extended farther than as
a suitable encouragement for Constables or other persons to do their duty, and so as
to be a proper recompence to any Constable or other person for his trouble in appre-
hending such rogues or vagabonds as appear to be common beggars, and dangerous
vagrants,
