TitleAppeal from parish of Swanton Novers, Norfolk, for relief against an order dated 4th May last for the removal of Sarah Barnard, widow, and her three children, from the parish of St Giles, Cambridge to Swanton Novers. It appearing that Barnard's late husband William had also had a wife living at King's Lynn, the appeal is admitted and the order quashed by the court. Order confirmed for the settlement of Sarah Folks and her daughter Mary, paupers from St Edwards parish, Cambridge, to Harston, being the place of their last legal settlement. Indictment for petty larceny preferred against Mrry, wife of John Evans, Ann Gatwood and Mary Hills, all three late of Bassingbourn. All pleaded not guilty but were convicted and sentanced to be publicly whipped at Bassingbourn. SIx stripes were to be given until their backs shall be bloody, then to be discharged.
