into the circumstances of the said Joseph Tilley< no role > and find that he is an Householder and
Inhabitant of the said Parish renting a House at Eleven Pounds per Annum by Trade a
Staymaker and constantly employs three or four Men and verily believed said Joseph Tilley< no role >
could support and maintain his said father. That the Expences of having kept and
maintained said William Tilley< no role > in the Workhouse amounted to Twelve Pounds and
upwards he having been paid for after the Rate of Two Stillings and eight pence per week
during the said Time. That the Petitioners had caused various Applications to be
made to the said Joseph Tilley< no role > to pay the above Sum and also to maintain his said
Father which they apprehended that natural affection would have caused him to have done

themselves aggrieved Now upon hearing the said Appeal and what hath been alledged by
the respective Parties and their Counsel in and concerning the Premises It is Orderd
that the said Appeal be and the same is herely dismissed
