bring such as Offended against the Laws and Regulations by

greatly relieve the said inhabitants would occasion a more

Your Petitioners also humbly conceive that the Hour

of Six instead of Seven in the Winter, for the Carts to be

on the Stand would not be too soon, and would serve both

the Merchants and your Petitioners much better, and if this

Honorable Court would please to increase the fine on a

Breach of the 10th. Article of the present Orders to present the

as this Honorable Court should in their Superior Judgment
