settle (as it was termed) Accounts of which their Bills Constituted a Part but procured the attendance of their
Friends and of other Persons who were in expectation of providing and serving the like articles in what was
Called their turns and who had in Contemplation an Interest in setting such Accounts however exhorbitant
the Charges therein might be as they expected to have the same favour in return when their Bills came to be settled
in like manner.

That illegal Charges in the Accounts of the Overseers of the Poor of the said Parish and the
measures pursued in purchasing Articles for the necessary relief and maintenance of the Poor in the Work house
of the said Parish as aforesaid have during several years last past been growing evils And there is every reason
to suppose that if similar misconduct is not checked or prevented in future by the timely interposition of this
Court the like practices will be continued and encreased to the most enormous extent and so as to prove
highly grievous and detrimental to Your Petitioners and many other Inhabitants of the said
Parish

Your Petitioners conceiving themselves aggrieved by the
Acts and Conduct of the said John Andrews< no role > and Joseph Druce< no role > as Overseers
of the Poor aforesaid and having many material Objections (some whereof
are before mentioned) to their Accounts as such Overseers Therefore
appeal to this Court against the same and pray Your Worships to appoint
a Day in this present Session for the hearing and Determining the said
Appeal And that such relief may be given to Your Petitioners in the premises
as to your Worships shall seem just and reasonable

And your Petitioners shall ever pray Etc.
