he may be distrained, "and there being also several sums of
money set in super on high collectors of other counties and
cities whereupon process have issued and like returns have been
made, and the Court of Exchequer being lately moved on His
Majesty's behalf for a remedy to be speedily had in the
premises did then order that process of distringas should be
awarded against the Commissioners of the several counties and
cities, whereof the county of Worcester is one, to render an

where the sheriffs have made such return as aforesaid, but
upon consideration of the said order had by us and of the
trouble and vexation which may happen to the Commissioners
of the said several counties and cities in case such writs of
distringas shall issue against them, and to prevent such an
inconvenience to you, we have hereby thought fit before such
process issue to acquaint you with the proceedings aforesaid
and to desire that you will forthwith take care that the moneys
so appearing due from the said Richard Hodkins may be
forthwith levied upon his estate by sale of his goods and lands
if he have any, according to the Act of Parliament in that
behalf . . . and if the same cannot be so levied or if the same
shall not appear to be in the hands of the said collectors but
[to be] unpaid to him by any sub-collectors or [to be] not
paid to the sub-collectors by the persons on whom the same
was assessed, that you cause the same forthwith to be levied
and paid to His Majesty's use on or by the persons in whose
hands the same is or if the said persons in whose hands the
same is be insolvent that you cause the same to be
reassessed on the country [county] according to the powers
given to Commissioners in that behalf by the said Acts . . . .
and we desire you to give us from time to time an accompt of
your actings and proceedings herein." |
