After the census had been made the Mayor, John Aldriche, issued a proclamation forbidding begging altogether in the streets of Norwich and ordering all strange beggars to depart. All the poor of the city who could not work were to be relieved and the others were to be "set on work." A new assessment was therefore made and the contributions were in many cases considerably increased[228]. [228] The following are the first four names in the list for St John Sepulchre: p^d before pay now Mr Haydon gent. vid. viiid. Mr Smyth 0d. iiiid. Richard Blofield iii vid. Robert Spingold iid. iid. etc. The poor who were to receive relief were then specified, and the payments made to them though still small are greater than they had been before. Other arrangements were also made: some were sent away from the city; others were placed with the "select women"; masters were found for the youths, and inquiries were made to see that servants were hired for the whole year[229]. [229] Thus for example an order is made that "Elizabeth Browne of the age of 18 years to be enquered for at John Croland, a duch man in St Michael of Bearstreet, whether she be hired by the yere or elles to go to service." The Mayor was to be the Master of Bridewell, four aldermen were appointed commissioners of the poor and all officers were to be appointed by him. Regulations concerning Bridewell were made: a bailiff was appointed and twelve incorrigible idlers were to be kept at work there[230]. [230] See Appendix for the orders for the "balie of Bridewell." But besides Bridewell in every ward "select" women were to be appointed, and they were to receive women, maidens or children "whose parents are not hable to pay for theyr learninge." These were to be so taught "as labore and learninge shall be easier than idleness," and the work was to be done "trewelie and workmanlye" under pain of sharp correction[231]. The deacons were to see after the rest of the poor; to set those fit to service to serve, to place others with the select women, to relieve those that wanted help and to see that none begged or were brought up in idleness[232]. [231] See Appendix for the orders for children and others. [232] See Appendix for the orders for deacons. Besides all this an orphanage was refounded at St Giles' where twelve children were to be brought up until they could maintain themselves. A little later certain aldermen and commoners were appointed who presented an elaborate series of orders to the assembly. These were adopted and a very thorough organisation was introduced. Begging was entirely prohibited and every beggar was to receive six stripes with the whip; the people who gave to beggars were also to pay the fine ordered by statute and fourpence for every time besides.
