In obedience to an Order made at the Generall Quarter Sessions
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
of the Peace on Wednesday the 2d day of December last upon hearing the
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Appeale of Docter Bennett Viccar of the Parish of St. Gyles without Cripplegates
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
London, complaining of his being over Rated to the poore there, for his Tythes
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
and the Rent of his house, I have made Inquiry into the value of
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
the said Doctors Fyths for that part of the said Parish as is within London
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
and have examined the Originall Tyth book of the Parish, and do find
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
the whole Fyths claymed by the said Doctor for that part of the said parish
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
and charged in the said Tyth booke do amount to Three hundred eighty
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
one pounds. Eighteen shillings and ten pence, A Coppy of which Originall
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Tyth Book I have Caused to be delivered to the Churchwardens of the said parish
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
for their perusall and inspection, to which I have not received any
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
objections on the part of the Churchwardens or any others, And I defind
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
that in the said Tyth booke, there are above five hundred houses of very poore
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Inhabitants, charged to Pay Tyth, and many others who refuse to Pay
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
pleading Custom as not having paid for many pares, By which meanes it
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
appeares to me the Doctor doth not collect or receive of the said Tythes
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
any more than two hundred and eight pounds at the most in any one
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
yeare, except that this present yeare & since the making of this Rate, the
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Doctor having exhibited a bill in the Exchequer against severall Defaulters
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
hath recovered or received thereby Five pounds thirteen shillings & four
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
pence, and if that be added to the said £208, makes together £213:13s:4d
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
And I do find that the Doctor payes three pounds yearly for Tenths and
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
eight pounds thirteene shillings and four pence yearly to the Deane and
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Chapter of St Pauls And if two thirds of those two Sumes. (which is the pporcon
<
lb
>
</
lb

of the Tyths of that part of the Parish as is within the freedom compared to that without)
<
lb

</
lb

be allowed to be Deducted, being £7:15s:6d and Twenty pounds
<
lb
>
</
lb

sixteen shillings the Charges of Collecting, it reduces the Nett value of
<
lb

</
lb

the said Doctors Tyths to One hundred eighty five pounds one shilling &

</

ten pence or thereabouts
