Whereas by virtue of an Act of Parliament made in the Twelfth Year
of the Reign of His late Majesty King George the Second intituled "An Act for
the more easy assessing collecting and levying County Rates." the Justices of the
Peace in that part of Great Britain called England within the respective Limits
of their Commissions at their General or Quarter Sessions or the greater part of
them then and there assembled having full Power and Authority from time to
time to make one General Rate or Assessment for such Sum or Sums of Money
as the Justices in their discretion shall think sufficient to answer all and every
the ends and purposes mentioned in the said Act Now Forasmuch as it
appeareth unto this Court that more than three fourths of the Money of the
last Rate made in October Session last being the last preceeding Rate
hath been paid and expended to answer the ends and purposes mentioned
in the said Act of Parliament and that it is necessary a considerable Sum of
Money should be raised and a Rate made upon the Towns Parishes and
Places in the said County for raising of Money to answer the several ends
and purposes mentioned in the said Act of Parliament This Court upon
consideration of the Premises is of Opinion and Doth accordingly Order that
a General Rate be made and assessed upon every Town Parish and Place
in the said County for raising the Sum of Four Thousand Pounds
