Horses have run Races in a Field called White Conduit Field in the
Parish of Islington and elsewhere in the County of Middx whereby
great Numbers of working & labouring People have been Seduced
to resort thither and lose both their time and their Money in laying of
Wages which tends very much to the impoverishmt. of themselves
and their Familys, and great Tumults and Disorders must and
will happen by means of the great Resort to Such Horse Races,
And the Said Horse racing having happened upon a false
Suggestion that the late Act of Parliament for preventing the
excessive increase of Horse races is expired, This Court to the intent
that the Said Act of Parliament may be duly observed Doth
declare that the Same is a perpetual Act, and is now in full force,
And whereas a great many disorderly Persons have of late
years taken upon themselves to throw Squibbs (whereby Several
Mischiefs have happened to divers Persons) upon a false

the future Such Mischiefs Doth Declare that the Said Act
of Parliament is a perpetual Act and now in full force, And
this Court doth recommend it to [..] Some Gentlemen in the Comission
