The humble peticon of the persons underr named
Inhabitants of the parish of Hornsey in the Said Countie

Shewing

That at a generall Vestrie held in the Said parish Church on the first day of
Mar laste, upon Calculacon of the charge necessarie for releife of the poore there; it was
agreed, upon that a rate of 6d: prd would be sufficient to defray the Said charge for this
present peace with some over plus; 23 as for it is that afterwards the Churchwardens
with Some few others pretending other occasions for raising more money for other uses
did apointe and order the Said rate of 6d: P lb to be raised to 9d: P lb which is now endeavoured
to be leavied upon & [..] petr. and others accordingly.

Now forasmuch as the Said laste tax of 9d: P lb made for other uses then the releife
of the poorer is illegall (as the petr. are informed) and for that the said tax of 6d: P lb
is sufficient to defray all charges necessarie for the poore releife

Yor: petr: Tax humbly appeale to their Court for releife herein, praying
the Order of Court for nullifyeing the said illegall rate of 9d: P lb and
confirmeing of the Said juste and legall rate of 6d: P lb
