the former Act with this addition That strong Beggars with their Bairns be imployed in common Works and that they shal continue servants therein during their life-times And considering the tenth Act of the two and twentieth Parliament of His said Royal Grand-father King James the sixth Recommending to all His good Subjects to take into their service poor and indigent Children declaring that they shall be subject to their said Masters their Heirs and Assignes in all kind of service that shall be enjoyned to them untill they pass their age of thirty years compleat and that they shall be Subject

they be required otherwise to pay to their said Masters ten shillings Scots for ilk dayes absence till they be restored And His Majesty considering that the chief cause whereby the foresaids Acts have proven in-effectual and that Vagabounds and idle Persons do yet so much abound hath been that there were few or no common Works then erected in the Kingdom who might take and imploy the said idle Persons in their service and that now by His Majesties Princely care common Works for Manufacturies of divers sorts are setting up in this Kingdom Therefore His Majesty with advice and consent of His Estates in Parliament Ratifies and Approves the foresaids Acts of Parliament with this addition That it shall be leisum to all Persons or Societies who have or shall set up any Manufacturies within this Kingdom to seize upon and apprehend the persons of any Vagabonds who shall be found begging or who being Masterless and out of service have not wherewith to maintain themselves by their own means or work and to imploy them for their service as they shall see fit the same being done with the advice of the respective Magistrates of the place where they shall be seized upon And Ordains the

them of two shillings Scots money per aiem for the first year after they be apprehended and one shilling Scots per diem for the next three years thereafter the one half thereof to be payed by the Heretors of the severall Paroches respective and the other half thereof to be payed by the Possessor and Inhabitants dwelling upon the ground of each Heretor respective Likeas His Majesty with advice and consent foresaid Ordains the Heretors of each Paroch or as many of them as shall happen to meet upon publick intimation made at the Paroch-kirk upon any Sabbath at the dissolving of the Church from the first Sermon by any of the Heretors of the Paroch or by the imployers of the Poor to make up a stent Roll for maintenance of the Poor in their Paroch who shall be imployed as said is at the rate aforesaid the one half thereof to be payed by the Heretors either conform to the old extent of their Lands within the Paroch or conform to the valuation by which they last payed assessment or otherwayes as the major part of the Heretors so meeting shall agree Life-renters and Wod-setters alwayes being lyable during their Rights as Heretors and the other half thereof to be laid upon the Tennents and Possessors according to their means and substance And in case the saids Heretors being required by any Person or Society imploying the Poor as said is shall failȝie to make up and deliver a stent Roll in manner foresaid with power to the Persons Society or others intrusted by them to charge the Heretors of each Paroch for the sum of two shillings Scots per diem for each one of their Poor whereof they shall be relieved in manner foresaid conform to the old extent or valuation foresaid at the option of the Person or Society imploying or these intrusted by them which stent Roll shall continue and stand for one year after the making up thereof either by the Heretors or in case of failȝie by the Persons or Societies imploying the Poor as said is and shall then be renewed from year to year during the years above-written Providing also that the Heretors in case they failȝie to make astent Roll as said is and be charged conform to the old extent or valuation of their Lands that they shall have relief of the Tennents and Possessors of their Lands for the one half of what they shall be distressed for And His Majesty with consent foresaids Ordains Letters of Horning to be directed hereupon at the instance of the Persons or Societies imployers of the Poor or persons intrusted by them against the Heretors and others for payment of the said daily allowance for the Poor or against the recepters of them being so imployed for ten shillings Scots money per diem upon fifteen dayes only Providing alwayes that after examination of the case the Lords of the Privy Council shall find cause for directing such Letters And Ordains all Sheriffs Stewarts Bailies of Regality Principalitie Magistrates of Burroughs or Justices of Peace and their Constables to be assisting in the apprehending of the saids Vagabounds or in the bringing of them back to their service after they shall be imployed And strictly Prohibits and Discharges all persons whatsoever to oppose or hinder the taking or bringing back of them in maner foresaid respective under the pain of deforcement Likeas it is hereby Declared That the Poor so imployed shall continue in the service of the imployers and under their direction and correction in maner foresaid not only during the space of the maintenance to be payed for them by their Paroches in maner above-written but also for the space of seven years thereafter for meat and cloath only Declaring alwayes likeas it is hereby expresly Declared that the Burgh of Air nor their inhabitants shall no wayes be comprehended herein but are excepted here-from
