An Act for the better regulating the Nightly Watch and Bedels within the Parish of Saint Martin in the Fields within the Liberties of the City of Westminster". An early attempt to establish policing in the parish with much interesting content on the proposed policies including: meeting date set to determine number of watchmen needed; how to fill vacancies; times for watching; the duties of constables & watchmen; payment by half yearly assessment; the assessment on houses of ambassadors to be paid by landlords; and hired servants barred from serving as watchmen. It was not until 1774 when Sir Charles Whitworth pushed through the Westminster Night Watch Act that additional security measures were finally approved such as specifying the minimum number of watchmen and patrols punishments for infractions by watchmen and allowing watchmen from different parishes to assist in other parishes. With the first page of the Act followed by pp183 - 190. Folio. John Baskett unknown

1730102277Bound volume of 89 acts folio 11 3/4" x 7" period full calf 446 pp. Various paginations actual page count is done by hand and a manuscript index at the front lists the acts and indicates the page it is on. Binding is worn backstrip is gone hinges are cracked covers almost detached and some signatures are loose some early ink notations and page numbering are on top of pages it appears there are some remnants of wax seals on the margin of the last page some soiling at endpapers normal aging and browning but internally pretty clean; despite the mentioned flaws the contents are in very good shape but the binding needs work. While this collection of Acts passed under George II and George III is not sequential a previous owner has provided a useful index as to the contents and location of various acts. The laws cover a very broad area of issues from the more mundane such as dog stealing punishments for disorderly houses and preventing abuses in making bricks and tiles to more important issues including the raising and training of the militia regulating the price of corn preservation of public highways and the punishment for selling ale and apiarist without a license. Other important acts include regulating places of entertainment regulating the trials of controverted elections establishing trade agreements in the East Indies changing some of the rules passed by Queen Elizabeth on providing relief to the poor and wildlife preservation. A fascinating glimpse at another time and issues of the day. Charles Eyre and William Strahan, Mark Baskett & Others, books
