<p n="829">That your Petitioners the more Effectually to compel<lb></lb>
an Observance of this Regulation have almost ever since kept<lb></lb>
a Beadle at 12s. P Week in addition to the Street Keepers to<lb></lb>
look after the Loading of Carts on the different Stands and to<lb></lb>
bring such as Offended against the Laws and Regulations by<lb></lb>
Summons either before a Court of the Fellowship or before some<lb></lb>
Magistrate of this City to be Punished, but the Court of<lb></lb>
Assistants having no Power n themselves and the Magistrate<lb></lb>
not having Jurisdiction to Punish as the Orders of Sessions<lb></lb>
now Stand without the weight of the Load being fully<lb></lb>
proved, your Petitioners humbly conceive that if the annexed<lb></lb>
Regulations were added to the present Orders the same would<lb></lb>
greatly relieve the said inhabitants would occasion a more<lb></lb>
equal Division of Work amongst the different Carmen without<lb></lb>
the least prejudice to the Merchants as your Petitioners are<lb></lb>
willing to prove to the Satisfaction of this Honourable Court</p>
<p n="830">Your Petitioners also humbly conceive that the Hour<lb></lb>
of Six instead of Seven in the Winter, for the Carts to be<lb></lb>
on the Stand would not be too soon, and would serve both<lb></lb>
the Merchants and your Petitioners much better, and if this<lb></lb>
Honorable Court would please to increase the fine on a<lb></lb>
Breach of the 10th. Article of the present Orders to present the<lb></lb>
Carmen coming sooner that 4. in Summner and 6. in Winter<lb></lb>
on the Stands to 20s, or such greater Sum (than it now inflicts,)<lb></lb>
as this Honorable Court should in their Superior Judgment<lb></lb>
think fit, the same would greatly relieve the said Inhabitants,<lb></lb>
and would also be, more beneficial to your Petitioners and the<lb></lb>
free Carmen in General</p>
<p n="831">Your Petitioners therefore humbly pray<gap reason="illegible"></gap>
that<lb></lb>
this Honourable Court will be pleased to add<lb></lb>
the annexed Regulations to the present Orders of<lb></lb>
Sessions or such part thereof as this Honorable<lb></lb>
Court in their Wisdom shall think proper<lb></lb>
with an Adequate Penalty for the Breach<lb></lb>
thereof And that this Honourable Court will be<lb></lb>
further</p>
