For I have met with passes that serve not only many Months but years with a very little alteration or Forgery and some indigent Scribes have established offices for such Forgery. The misapplied Charity to the encouragement of Robbery and Murder and Expenditure for Removals and on Litigation for Settlement* would suffice for a great deal more than the Real Wants or even present Poor Rate and! prevent the Diminution of Subjects by Execu- tions and Transportation which is remarked to have little or no effect as still appears more to suffer such Penalty year after year. Thinking I might have an opportunity of men- tioning the within matter to your Lordship on your usual visit to Lord Fortescue when his- observations perhaps might corroberate my assertions I omitted the sending my Thoughts as- within written now take this opportunity of enclosing with the other Memorial and hope your Lordship will excuse any incorrectness or im- propriety therein by My Lord Yours Lordship most Obedient and Humble Servant, DENTS ROLLE.
