To the Constables of the Parish of Padstow in the aforesaid County

Whereas on the Examination of MARY PETTIGREW single woman, taken this day before me on Oath, it appears that she is now with child of a Bastard, which when born, is likely to become chargeable to the said Parish of Padstow and whereas on the examination of the said MARY PETTIGREW, on Oath before me, she the said MARY PETTIGREW did charge HENRY TAYLOR of Padstow aforesaid, Labourer, to have begotten the same.

These are therefore in his Majesty’s name, to require and authorise you, and every of you, to apprehend the said HENRY TAYLOR, and bring him before me or some other of his Majesty’s Justices of the Peace, to be examined concerning the premises, and to be further Dealt with according to law.

Given under my hand & Seal at Place
This 20th day of April 1767

(Signed) HUMPHREY PRIDEAUX
