The Treasury Lords to William Hale and Ralph Ratcliffe,
Justices of the Peace of co. Hereford, concerning their
certificate of Hearthmoney exemption of several persons in
King's Walden "because they are by reason of their poverty
and smallness of estate not taxed to the usual rates towards
the church and poor: which certificate we do not find by the
Act that either the minister, churchwardens, and overseers
for the poor have power to make or the Justices of
the Peace to allow. There is indeed in the last Act a
clause which empowers the making and allowing certificates;
and to prevent for the future the trouble and inconvenience
which irregular certificates have heretofore occasioned
his Majesty's officer is furnished with a printed form drawn
by good advice and exactly according to the law, which, as we
are informed, hath been tendered to you but refused and instead
thereof these made which the law doth not justify. We desire
your reasons for doing this. We are likewise informed that
you intend at the next Quarter Sessions to move the Bench
that the form of a certificate by you now allowed may be
there agreed to be universally used in your county. It is
advisable you consider well before you propose it. |
