That your Petitioners beg leave to represent to your Lordship and Worships
<
lb

</
lb

that the expence of Horse keeping has for a long time past been greater than at any former
<
lb
>
</
lb

period and the Price of Horses and every other Article in their Business (as well as the
<
lb
>
</
lb

necessaries of Life) is greatly advanced since the making of the last Rates for Cartage.
<
lb
>
</
lb

Your Petitioners being likewise deprived of near one third part of the labour they enjoyed
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
at that time by unlicensed Carts are by the concurrence of these Causes much hurt in their
<
lb
>
</
lb

Circumstances within the course of these few last Years and are thereby constrained to
<
lb

</
lb
>
apply to your Lordship and Worships for relief.

That as absolute necessity obliges your Petitioners to make this application so they beg
<
lb
>
</
lb

leave at the same time to assure your Lordship & Worships that it is with great reluctance
<
lb
>
</
lb

they now take this Step as they hoped to have been reestablished in their Ancient rights &
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Priviledges before the Commencement of this Sessions in which case the increase of Business
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
would have some what alliviated their Burthen & enabled them to have waited in expectation
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
that the Price of those necessary Articles which are accustomed to vary in their value would
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
be reduced in the course of the succeding Year and thereby super side the necessity of a future
<
lb
>

application of this hind.

Your Petitioners therefore being thus necessitated to make this

Present Do humbly Pray Your Lordship & Worships to take this matter into

</

your Consideration at this time & to grant them such an Augmentation of the

present Rates of Cartage as may enable them to carry on their Business and
