TitleThomas Sumpter of Histon parish moves by his counsel Barham Rushbrooke to be relieved of a rate made by the church wardens and overseers of the poor of Histon Parish on 16th June 1774 for the relief of the poor, as the rate is illegal and Sumpter is being overcharged for the lands he owns, is being charged for lands he doesnt own, and that other landowners are undercharged, are not charged for all their land or are not related in the same proportion. Court rules that Sumpter's appeal is too general (!) and is insufficient to compel any evidence from the repondants, and orders the rate to stand.
