Kent ss. FOrasmuch as it hath been duly* 1.1 proved before me, That A. B. of the aforesaid Parish of C. did lately utter and fell in his house in C. aforesaid less than one full Ale-quart of the best Beer for a penny, (against
the form of the Statute in that case made and provided) by reason whereof the said A. B. hath forfeited for his said offence twenty shil∣lings to the use of the Poor of the said Parish of C. These are therefore (in His Majestie's name) to command you, that you, some or one of you, do levy to the use aforesaid the said twenty shillings by way of Distress of the goods and chattels of the said A. B. to be by you, some or one of you, taken and detained for the same; And for default of satisfaction within six days next ensuing, that then you presently appraise and sell the said Distress, and deliver the sur∣plusage or remainder over and above to the said A. B. And for want of sufficient Distress, that then you, some or one of you, do within twenty days next ensuing certifie unto me the default of such Distress, to the end that I may farther doe therein as to Justice doth appertain. Hereof fail not at your perils. Given under my hand and seal at, &c.
