the County Rate to be liable to the payment of the said Houses

That the Office and Business of Guardian as it is here

stated seems to require that he should be renumerated

and that he should not only have Clerks but numerous

That the Guardian (or Guardians if more than one)
<

</

elected by Ballot of the acting Visitors (according to
<
lb

</
lb

Clause 39) has the property vested in him or them

of all the Goods Materials Monies raised for the use or

relief of the Poor Etc yet those paying the Rates have

not any voice in the Election either of the Guardian

That though we cannot possibly ascertain the
<
lb

</
lb

extent of Fees to be taken by the Clerks of Justices in any
<
lb
>
</
lb

Matters relating to Execution of the Act yet they must
<

</

necessarily swell into an Annual Sum of great magnitude &
<
lb

</
lb

by the multiplicity of objects the Act embraces and as far
<
lb
>
</
lb

as a Judgement may be formed by anticipation their
<
lb

</
lb

Amount must be another very heavy charge on the Poor
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Rates to reimburse them in populous Parishes.
