Be it therefore ordained by the authority aforesaid, that where any person or persons inhabiting in any of the Townes and Villages of this Kingdome at the time of Laying in of this present Poll, shall go about to remove him or themselves, out of such Towne or Village as aforesaid, That then it shall and may be lawfull for such Land-Lord, Farmor, or Head-Te∣nant, residing in any such Towne or Village to distraine, and he is hereby Ordered to distraine on the Goods or Chattels of such person or persons to double the Value of the Pole-money, rated on them by this present Ordinance, and the same to deliver to the Collector of that Barrony, who is to dispose of the same, as by this present Ordinance he is appointed to dispose of other Distresses. And where any Land-Lord, Farmer, or Head-Tennant of any of the said Townes and Villages, shall neglect or faile to distraine

as aforesaid, That then the Collector nominated and ap∣pointed for that Barrony, shall demand the Summe or Summes rated on such person or persons so departed from such Land-Lord, Farmor or Head-Tennant, and upon non Payment, to distraine on the Goods or Chattels of such Land-Lord, Farmor or Head-Tennant, and the same to dispose of, as by Vertue and Authority of this Ordinance in other cases of Distresse he is authorized and appointed.

Provided alwayes, and it is hereby Ordained, That Sir William Vsher Knight, and Thomas Boyd Merchant, Mem∣bers of this Convention, shall be, and are hereby impowr'd by this Generall Convention, from time to time to take an Account of what money is, or shall be raised by Vertue of the second Ordinance of this Convention for Pole-money, towards Satisfaction of the said Money due by Statute Staple to Alderman Daniell Bellingham from severall Mem∣bers of this Convention, and of what part thereof, the said Money so raised, and to be raised, shall fall short to satisfie. And the high Collectors of the severall Counties in the Province of Leinster, are hereby required within the times above limitted, to pay the severall Summes of Money that shall be raised by vertue of this Ordinance in the se∣verall Counties in the said Province of Leinster, to the said Sir William Vsher and Thomas Boyd, who out of the said Monies are to satisfie and pay to the said Alderman Bel∣lingham, what shall remaine due unto him upon the said Statute Staple, by the Dificiency of the money raised, or to be raised by the said second Ordinance for Pole-money. And after Satisfaction of the said Money so due by the said Statute Staple, and the Interest thereof, the said Sir William Vsher and Thomas Boyd are hereby required to pay the residue of the said Money, that shall be so by them re∣ceceived to his Majesties Vice-Treasurer, and Treasurer at Warre, for his Majesties use. And the said Sir William Vsher and Thomas Boyd, are to make such allowances out of the said moneys to be by them received as by the said Vice-Treasurer, is to be made out of the residue of the moneys to be paid unto him by virtue of this Ordinance.
