For not obeying that Order.

To the Constable and Borsholders o•…•… the Hundred of A. in the said County, and to e•…•…ery of them, and to the Keeper of the House of Correction for the said County at B. in the Cou•…•… afore∣said.

K. ss. WHereas A. B. of C. within eight* 1.1 days last past, was apprehen∣ded by * 1.2 having a Bundle of * 1.3 and lately brought before me to give account how he came by the said * 1.4 by the consent of the Owner, (according to an Act of Parliament lately made, intituled, An Act for the punishment of unlawfull cutting, or stealing, or spoiling of Wood and Under-wood, and destroyers of young Timber∣trees:) And for that he did not give such ac∣count thereof as did satisfie me, nor did pro∣duce the party of whom he bought the same, or any other credible Witness to depose upon Oath such Sale thereof, whereby he was then

(according to the said Act) by me deemed and adjudged as convict of the Offence of cut∣ting and spoiling of the said * 1.5 within the meaning of one other Act of Parlia∣ment, which was made in the third and fourth year of the Reign of the late Queen Eliz. (in∣tituled, An Act to avoid and prevent divers Mis∣demeanours in idle and lewd persons:) And whereas it then appeared unto me, That C. D. of, &c. was Owner of the said * 1.6 and I did therefore (according to the said first before mentioned Act) order and appoint that the said A. B. should within six days then next ensuing, give the said C. D. &c. o•…•… lawfull money of England, for recompence and satis∣faction for his damages: And that the said A. B. should (over and above) pay down then presently to the Overseers for the use of the Poor of the Parish of T. in the said County, (where the said Offence was committed,) & •…•…. * 1.7 of like money: And foras∣much as the said A. B. did not (according to the said order and appointment) give or pay the moneys aforesaid: These are therefore (in His Majestie's name) to charge and command you, the said Constable and Borsholders, and every of you, forthwith to convey the said A. B. to the aforesaid House of Correction, and him there deliver to the Keeper of the same, (together with this Precept.) Commanding also you the said Keeper, •…•…o receive him into the said House, and him there detain by the space of d 1.8 days next after such your receipt of him. Hereof fail not at your perils. Given under my hand a•…•…d seal the, &c.

Note, The Iustice may (if he think fit) not send the Offender to the House of Correction, but

may make a Warrant to the Constable, &c. to whip him, which may be made with the same recitals as in the last precedent War∣rant, till you come to these words, These are therefore, &c. And then say thus.

These are therefore (in His Majestie's name) to charge and command you to whip the said A. B. for the said Offence. Hereof fail not, &c.

Note, This is onely for the first Offence.

Now for the second Offence, thus.
