That other Rates (particularly a Rate for Repairing the
House of Correction
in Clerkenwell
) are removed by
Cerciorari, and liable to be quashed, considering the great
Niceties and forms requisite in Such Cases, tho' your

utmost Care and Caution therein, whereby it is become
extremely difficult if not impossible for your Petitioners to
