	I perceive by Mr Man the Constable of Burrowbridge came the 28 Sept last to desire a warrt to Charge the Town of Kirklinton, to send two Carts – for the carriage of the Baggage belonging to the Earl of Forfars Regimt of Foot from Burrowbridge to Northalerton, the s[ai]d Town had not bee charged to send any carriage for many years before, notwithstanding the Constable would not obey the war[ran]t, so [struck out: ‘was forc’d to send his own carriage from Burrowbridge’] I desire the Bench, will fine him very Severely, with my most Humble Service to the Bench, I am

			Your very Humble Servt



If this Constable be not made an example of, it will be to no purpose to grant war[ran]ts for the charging any Towns to send carriage
