TitleThomas Sumptor of Histon Parish moved through his counsel Barham Rushbrooke to appeal against the assessment of the church wardens and overseers of the poor of Histon Parish between St Michael 1774 and to Easter 1775 made by John Fordham, one of the overseers made at sixpence in the pound to go to the relief of the poor of Histon, for reasons that the law is illegal. Sumpter is over-rated, or not rated for all land they own, or are not related in due proportsion, as a result of which the rate is uneven. The court declares the appeal is too general and is insufficient to compel any evidence from the respondents, and upholds the assessment.
