been prevailed upon without the knowledge or privity of such<lb></lb>
Justices of the peace, and without sending to know what<lb></lb>
Information had been given against such Offenders, to take<lb></lb>
insufficient Bail for, or discharge and set at Liberty such<lb></lb>
Offenders, whereby they have often times evaded the punishments<lb></lb>
which by Law ought to have been inflicted upon them, and such<lb></lb>
proceedings Have occasoned great Refleccons Upon the Justices<lb></lb>
of the peace for of this County in Generall And Whereas alsoe<lb></lb>
Severall of the Justices of the peace of this County Have been<lb></lb>
prevailed upon to grant Licences to persons who live out of their<lb></lb>
