C. stand bound to His said Majesty in, &c. of lawfull money of England, with Condition, that if the said T. G. do personally appear before His Ma∣jestie's Justices of general Gaol-delivery at the next general Gaol-delivery to be holded for the said County, to answer unto His said Majesty, in and upon such matters as shall be then and there objected against him, touching the felo∣nious taking and stealing of, &c.

After Conviction the Town presently stands* 1.2 Charged for the Felons Goods (if then in his possession,) and shall answer the Impair∣ing of them, except they shew who detained them, and that they could not have possession of them.
