U. H. J.

Master that it does not require Security for his Servant even
after Conviction, much less reason is there that they should
be obliged to give it upon Comon fame, nor can we foresee of
what pernicious Consequence our coming into the measures
(by the Bill proposed) would be since it remains a doubt with
this House whether the peace & property .of his Lordships
Tenants would not rather thereby be Infringed than pro-
moted Wherefore we hope the ill Consequences Charged (as
we think Unjustly) on us, will lye rather at the doors of those
who have too precipitately taken upon them to Commit persons
who have already suffered for Crimes formerly Comitted
without being Guilty of any new Transgression.
