WHEREAS Complaint hath been made unto us, two of his
Majesty's Justices of the Peace for this City and the Liber-
ties thereof (one being of the Quorum) by you the Church-
wardens, and Overseers of the Poor of the said Parish of St. Michael at
Queen hithe London, that Mary Poston< no role > Widow of
William Poston< no role > is
lately come to reside in your said Parish not having obtained any legal
Settlement there, and is likely to become chargeable thereto, unless
timely prevented; which Complaint we judge to be true and for as much
as it appears unto us by the Oath of the said. Mary Poston< no role > that her
late Husband William Poston< no role > alwayes declared that he
was an Inhabitant legally Setled in the Parish of St
Mary Abchurch London And Saith that She is the rather
Induced to believe her sd Husbands Declaration to be true
for that the Minister & Churchwardens of the Parish of St Mary
Abchurch certifyed the sd Poston to be an Inhabitant of their sd parish
And no other subsequent Settlement appearing unto us, we the said Justi-
ces are of Opinion, and do adjudge the last legal Settlement of the said
Mary Poston< no role >
to be in the said Parish of St. Mary Abchurch
And that thitherto she ought by Law to be sent

These are therefore in his Majesty's Name, to Will and Require you
the Churchwardens and Overseers of the Poor of the said Parish of St
Michael at Queen hithe London, forthwith to remove and
convey the said Mary Poston< no role >
from and out of your said Parish unto the said Parish of St Mary
Abchurch London
And her deliver unto the Churchwardens and Overseers of the Poor
there, or one of them, who is and are hereby required to receive and pro-
vide for her according to Law. Given under our Hands, and Seals,
this 17th Day of December in the Year of our Lord 17 36
