that Act as to the Power of Taxing was to continue for three years, from
the
Twenty fifth day of March 1662. Yet after by the Statute of
22 Car. 2.
the Justices of Peace in their Quarter Sessions, being satisfied, the
Statutes
then in force, and the Provision by them made, would not effect the said
Repairs,
may make Assessments; but that Power is also expired, being to
continue until our Lady day 1673. and no longer. |

12. Also if the Bailiff or High Constable
(who hath received an Estreat
for the levying of any forfeiture upon these Statutes) shall not levy
the
same, or shall not (between the first day of March and the last
day of April
yearly) make a true account and payment of all sums as he hath levied
to
the Constables and Churchwardens of every Parish, wherein the Offence
was committed; or if the Constables and Churchwardens have not imployed
the same upon their High ways; it seemeth every Justice of Peace
may upon their knowledge) present every of these Defaults, as

The Surveyors chosen in Christmas Week,
according to the Statute
of 22 Car. 2. shall take the Office and appoint Six days for providing
Materials,
and working in the High-ways, having respect to the season of the year
and the weather, and giving convenient publick notice; at which days, all
persons liable to work, shall attend, and the Surveyors shall make return
of
Defaults within one Month after default, to some Neighbouring Justice,
who
shall present the same the next Sessions, and the Offender shall incur
the Penalties
by Statute now in force. 22 Car. 2. |

If any person make default of his days Labours
or Carriages, and Horses,
the Surveyors shall complain to the next Justice of Peace; who upon proof
of
such default by one credible witness, is to levy of the parties offending
Goods
(not having reasonable Excuse to be allowed by such Justice) their Penalties
of
a day Labourer, 1 s. 6 d. For every Man and Horse, 3 s.
For every Cart and
two Men, 10 s. 22 Car. 2. |

And if the Surveyors shall present any of the former
Offences (by them
to be presented) to the next Justice of Peace, within one Month next after
the Offence committed; the same Justice ought to certifie such Presentment
at the next General Sessions, sub pœna-5 l. But if
the Surveyors do
not make their Presentment to the Justice till after the Month, and the
Justice certifieth it, this seemeth not good against the Offenders.
