Choice presidents upon all Acts of Parliament relating to the office and duty of a justice of peace. With necessary notes and instructions thereupon taken out of the said Acts of Parliament, and other particular cases in law adjudg'd therein. As also a more useful method of making up Court-Rolls than hath been hitherto known or published in print. By Rich. Kilburne, Esq; late one of His Majestie's Justices of the Peace for the county of Kent, and principal of Staple-Inn.

A Mittimus to the Gaol for want of Distress.

To the Constable and Borsholders of the Hundred of A. in the said County, and to every of them, and to the Keeper of His Majestie's Gaol for the said County at C. in the County aforesaid.

Kent ss. WHereas it was duly proved* 1.1 before us, That A. B. of, &c. Brewer, did bribe C. D. Gager, to make a false Return into the Office of Excise of Beer, &c. exciseable within his Division in the County against the form of an Act of Parliament lately made, (intituled, An addi∣tional Act for the ordering and collecting the Duty of Excise, and preventing the Abuses there∣in) whereby he forfeited ten pounds for his said Offence; and we did therefore by War∣rant under our hands and seals charge and command you to levy by Distress and Sale of the Goods of the said A B. the aforesaid ten pounds; and you the said Constable have re∣turned to us, that for want of such Distress you could not levy the same: These are there∣fore (in his Majestie's name) to charge and command you the said Constable and Borshol∣ders, and every of you, to attach the said A. B. and him convey to His Majestie's Gaol aforesaid, and there deliver him to the Keeper of the same, (together with this Precept.) Commanding also you, the said Keeper, to receive him into the said Gaol, and him

there safely keep by the space of three months, (without Bail or Mainprise.) Here∣of fail not at your perils. Given under our hands and seals the, &c.

The like as in the two former Warrants (mutatis mutandis) against any sworn Gager or other Officer that shall take and receive any bribe, money, fee, gift, or other reward of any Brewer or other person, for any cause or matter relating to the Excise.
