Hou&s;es, and adjoyning thereunto, which they have no Right
to, or Property in; and have made Vaults and Cellers un|der
the Streets, Lanes, Yards, Pa&s;&s;ages, Alleys and Courts,
which prove of great U&s;e and Advantage to them, and dan|gerous
to Carriages, Hor&s;es and Men, by often falling in.
Wherefore it is humbly Propo&s;ed to the Wi&s;dom of the Ho|nourable
Hou&s;e, that there be a Tax of <HI>One Penny</HI> for every
Foot Square in the length and breadth yearly upon all Vaults
and Cellars that are not directly under the Hou&s;es, And that
the Cheif Officers of ever Pari&s;h &amp; Precinct do take an Account
of all &s;uch Vaults &amp; Cellars afore&s;aid, and cau&s;e the &s;ame to
be truly mea&s;ured, &amp; to return a true Account of the &s;ame un|der
their Hands with the Names of the Per&s;ons that pretend to
own them or u&s;e them, that there may be regular Books made
for that purpo&s;e. And to &s;ave the Charges of Collecting the
Money Ari&s;ing from every Vault and Cellar. That all the
Per&s;ons be oblidged to bring their Money half yearly to &s;uch
Place or Places, and to &s;uch Per&s;on or Per&s;ons as &s;hall be ap|pointed
by <HI>Act of Parliament,</HI> under a penalty therein menti|oned,
to be Levyed by Di&s;tre&s;s or Attachment again&s;t the
Per&s;on offending. And if any Per&s;on &s;hall make any new
Vaults or Cellars, that he &s;hall give notice to the Receiver,
that it may be mea&s;ured and entred in the Book kept for that
purpo&s;e afore&s;aid on a penalty by the &s;aid <HI>Act.</HI></P>
