(4) Two of the Iarish Officers attended every Sunday on the Public Houses and have found them quite orderly and no tippling during the time of Divine Service. (5) Apprehended two, one for disorderly conduct and an assault upon the constable, the other as a vagrant begging about the Farish and were disposed of by the Magistrates.
