Gus liquors without license. se.--They shall in
form OF all idle and dsorderly persons, pro-
fame swearers, and the like offenders. to the
end that they may be punished. They NAV
enter into any OF the rooms or other parts Of
an Inn, or public house Of entertainment, on
the Lords Day, and the evenings proceeding
and succeeding and they are bound TO see
the laws carried into effect, which are intend

enumerated above, orsdiscribed in the laws !;
but while their oath Of Office permits them to
use discretion and judgment, il solemnly en-
joins diligence and fidelity in performing their
duties. Complaints have been lodged with
the Tythngmen against collection of young
