Cart being by them specified in the original Pass; Whereas the same should<lb></lb>
have been inserted in and confined to the Certificate as a direction to the Con-<lb></lb>
stables within the particular Jurisdiction of the Magistrate giving such Certi-<lb></lb>
ficate, leaving the mode of conveyance through the other Districts in the rout<lb></lb>
of the Vagrants to the discretion of the Magistrates in such respective Dis-<lb></lb>
tricts; and this Committee apprehend that in such instances where the mode<lb></lb>
of conveyance has been prescribed by the original Passes, Gentlemen in several<lb></lb>
Counties through which the Vagrants have been afterwards passed have not ex-<lb></lb>
ercised the discretion which they had a right to do, by directing those Vagrants<lb></lb>
who were capable of travelling on foot to be conveyed in that manner, instead<lb></lb>
of continuing the mode of conveyance preseribed by the original Pass; and a <lb></lb>
very great additional expence has been incurred in the Counties of <rs type="placeName" id="LMSMPS50809_geo1821">Chester</rs>
