IN obedience to this Order, I have considered of the matter therein contained, and I am humbly of opi∣nion that such a course of Registring Pawns, &c. might be so ordered, as might be very profitable to the Kingdom, as well to prevent Robberies, Burglaries and Larcenies, as to help persons to their goods when stollen from them; but I think the same cannot be done legally without an Act of Parliament, and therefore it is fit the Petitioner should apply himself to the Parliament.
