To ye Worll Bench of Justices for the
County of Middx Etc

The humble Peticon of Richard Slater< no role > and
John Whalett< no role > late Scavengers for Nortonfalgate Liberty

Sheweth

That by the Removal of some and the Death & Poverty
of Other Inhabitants of the said Liberty and alsoe by the
Refusal of many to pay what was assessed upon them
The Rate which was [..] Delivered to your Petionrs
will not by new [..] severallPounds amount to the Sume that is
agreed to give the Raker for keeping the Streets clean:
Yor Peticonrs therefore some daies since desired some of the
Ancient Inhabitants of the said Liberty to meet, in Order to
make a new Rate whereby yor Petionr might be [..] relieved,
But were answered by the Inhabitants that they thought it
not safe soe to doe, without an Order from this Worll Bench

Yor Petionr therefore humbly pray
this Worth Bench to grane them an Order
to Summon together the Inhabitants
of the said Liberty, to make such a Rate
as that yor Petionr may not Lose both
their Time & Money: which yor Petionr
humbly conceive to be unreasonable.

And yor Petionr Shall ever pray Etc.
