Whereas att the laying of the publick Levy of this Province
for these two yeares last past, itt hath been the custome &
practice of severall the Sheriffes wthin this Province to bring

which is thought to happen meerly through the remisnes &
negligence of the Sheriffes themselves not takeing care to
secure or collect the same in due tyme, prsumeing that they
shall be allowed for the same in the publick levy. For
