On March 12th from Fropfield John Godden was presented for "being drunk on the Sabbath day," John Roake "for liveing idlye," and four others for "useinge unlawfull games in tyme of eveninge prayer." Five children were also placed apprentices. From Petersfield there were three cases of a man being accused of "liveinge idly and mainteyninge himself none knowes howe." Warrants were sent for some others for "teareinge of hedges." Six were fined a shilling each "for beinge absent from diuine service," and John Aylenge paid eighteenpence as he was suspected of being drunk. Richard Wolgatt was presented for keeping "a common alehouse w^{th}out lycence but noe process beinge made to convict him; yt was prohibited." The children fit for service of this place also were placed apprentices. Similar cases were settled for the other places at the other meetings. But the most important part of the proceedings for our purpose is the presentment of the constables and churchwardens. The constables and tithingmen stated what rogues had been punished in every tithing, "the churchwardens and overseers of the poore made presentm^t of the nomber of theire impotent poore in theire severall parishes, the nomber of theire able poore and howe they are releived and the other sett to worke and of all other thinges concerninge theire office." At the fourth meeting, held on April 30th at Petersfield, the accounts of the churchwardens and overseers were taken and new overseers appointed for the next year. Moreover, besides all this "articles in writing" were given to the constables, tithingmen and overseers of which they were to give an exact account at the next meeting. The report for the town of Cambridge gives perhaps even a better idea of the work done by the justices but no details of cases. As we shall have to refer so often to these justices' reports, it is worth while to quote this one in full in order that we may have a clear idea of what these documents were like. To the right Ho^{le}: the Lords and others of his Ma^{ties} most Ho^{le} privy Councell. The certificate of the Maior, Aldermen and Justice of the peace w^{th}in the Towne of Cambridge and the lib(er)ties thereof concerninge his Ma^{ties} orders and direccons sent unto us in printed bookes together w^{th} letters from yo^r Hono^{rs} for the due puttinge in execucon such Lawes as tend to the releivinge of impotent poore people, settinge to worke those that be able, and punishinge those that be idle, and reformeinge of divers abuses and disorders therein menconed. Humbly sheweth, 1. That accordinge to the said orders and letters, we presentlie uppon receipt thereof did assemble o^rselues together and calld before us the High Constables, petty Constables, Churchwardens, and overseers of the poore of o^r said Towne and gave them strictlie in charge for the performance of the service therein required accordinge to the said orders and direccons.
