of the peace of this County for their information as to the distances
of places whereby they may be enabled to execute the power and
authority vested in them by vertue of the Acts of Parliament for
the regulating of Hackney Coaches and Chairs against
Hackney Coachmen or Divers of Hackney -Coaches who shall be
guilty of extortion or any misdemeanour contrary to the tenor
thereof And doth therefore order that notice be given to the said
Comissioners that this Court insist that coppys of all the said
Admeasurements be made by direction of the said Comissioners
and transmitted to the Clerk of the peace of this County or his
Deputy for the use of the Justices of the peace of this County,
