Inquest assembled most seriously deploring the increasing prevalence of<lb></lb>
that most detestable and abominable Crime which the Law has pronounced<lb></lb>
not fit even to be named among Christians, and from several circumstances<lb></lb>
which have come to their Knowledge as well in Evidence as otherwise<lb></lb>
having reason to believe the Perpetrators of this horrid Offence are much<lb></lb>
assisted in the means of effecting their diabolical practices by the Access<lb></lb>

during the Night where their Meetings have been so frequent<lb></lb>
as almost to become matter of public notoriety: The Jurors therefore<lb></lb>
humbly presume to come before this Court with a request that the<lb></lb>
Court will be pleased in such mode and manner as they shall<lb></lb>
think proper to make the needful Application to the Ranger of the<lb></lb>
said Park his Deputy, or other the proper Officer, that if i shall be<lb></lb>
found convenient and practicable every Avenue whatever leading to<lb></lb>
the said Park may be shut up at some certain and seasonable time<lb></lb>
in the Evening and so continue until Morning, and that no person<lb></lb>
be suffered to enter the said Park during the time of its being so shut<lb></lb>
without making it appear that they have some lawful occasion for so<lb></lb>
doing: The Jurors have been given to understand that all the Gates<lb></lb>
except the one known by the name of Penny's Gate are already shut up<lb></lb>
nightly and they of themselves are not aware of any Inconveniences that<lb></lb>
can arise from shutting this also but this they humbly submit to<lb></lb>
consideration; The Jurors confidently rely that the motives which have<lb></lb>
led them to make this Application will secure it a favorable reception and<lb></lb>
they rest in hopes the same may be carried into immediate effect.</p>
