in the Parish where he Join thy Rented this

about 7 Years age, where it was determined that
<
lb

</
lb

<

</

is contrary to the Intent of the but, under which
<
lb

</
lb

it has been held, to be necessary that every per
<
lb

</
lb

son should have sufficient Credit to take a Tenemt
<
lb

</
lb

of 10£ to gain a Settlemt & it cant be said in this
