Forasmuch as information was given to the Court by William Lambe, gentleman, (undertaker of the purveyance of veals for His Majesty's household, according to a composition agreed upon between His Majesty's officers of the Counting-house and the Justices of the county) that divers persons have pretended exemptions from payment, whereby the purveyor is much disabled in making his provision, and that the officers do not make their election known to the purveyor, whether they will accept veals in kind or a composition in money, till after his purveyance is made, and when it is made then they demand the money, which turns to the extreme prejudice of the purveyor and county; therefore it is ordered that Sir Thomas Fowler, Knight, and other Justices, shall write a letter to, or personally treat with, the said officers, for relief to be had as well against such persons as pretend exemptions, as also on behalf of the purveyor; and if they do not take order accordingly, that then the said committee shall give to the said officers a half-year's warning that the county are resolved to break the said composition which is to surcease and determine.

p.117. Forasmuch as upon consideration nothing was held to be so requisite for the government of the county as the provision of a House of Correction, which has hitherto been omitted because of expectation of receiving composition from the City of London for their pretended right and interest in the hospital of Bridewell founded by King Edward VI, it is ordered that Sir Francis Darcy, Knight, and other Justices shall have power to meet before the next General Sessions to take into their considerations the validity of the patent [of the said hospital] and to resolve what course shall be pursued by the county for obtaining their right to the use of the said hospital, and to treat with the citizens of London on behalf of the county as they shall think most meet; and also that they shall set a tax upon the whole county for raising such money as will serve to buy, build and finish a House of Correction, and to provide stocks of money and all other things necessary for the same.

On 21 October, A.D. 1614, according to the above order, order was made by Sir Thomas Fowler, Knight, and other Justices, assembled at Hicks Hall, that a taxation for raising the sum of £2,000 should be imposed upon the whole county, in manner and form following, viz., that the several sums hereafter following, being by them rated upon every parish, shall be forthwith collected by virtue of warrants directed from the Justices to the high constables within their divisions, and that the same shall be rated in such manner as other rates, taxations and assessments are made by the inhabitants of every parish within the county.

Forasmuch as divers honourable, worshipful and well-affected persons being desirous to give furtherance to so good and worthy a work have already made offer of sums of money, and for that it is well hoped that there be many other persons of honour and quality who will do likewise, it is desired by the committee that Sir George Coppyn, Knight, and other Justices shall endeavour to collect and receive such sums and to stir up others as they shall think fit, and that they will pay over the same from time to time to the said Sir Baptist Hicks.
