Their
Allegations
.
-
1.
First
,
a
Waggon
or
Drug
hauing
foure
wheeles
will
seldome
or
neuer
ouerthrow
(
whatsoeuer
his
loading
be
)
because
when
one
of
the
wheeles
doth
rise
,
the
other
doth
incontinently
pull
him
downe
againe
,
and
by
that
meanes
the
passengers
and
goods
that
are
therein
,
and
also
the
Driuer
,
are
in
safetie
.
Where
on
the
contrary
,
a
Cart
with
two
wheeles
will
very
often
(
inevitably
)
ouerthrow
,
and
in
ouerthrowing
indanger
the
liues
of
the
Passengers
,
if
any
be
therein
,
and
spoile
,
hurt
and
soyle
the
goods
,
to
the
losse
of
the
owners
market
.
-
2.
A
waggon
by
reason
of
such
his
secure
trauell
,
doth
make
more
speed
on
the
way
then
a
Cart
,
and
is
sooner
at
his
iourneys
end
,
and
therefore
seldome
or
neuer
much
benighted
.
Where
on
the
contrary
a
Cart
(
for
feare
of
being
ouerthrowne
)
cannot
make
such
speed
,
and
so
is
inforced
to
trauell
late
in
the
night
to
accomplish
his
accustomed
iourneys
,
to
the
exceeding
toyle
and
danger
of
the
Carter
.
-
3.
By
the
convoy
of
waggons
,
many
Passengers
,
both
men
,
women
and
children
,
aged
,
lame
and
impotent
persons
are
carried
to
and
fro
,
from
place
to
place
,
as
their
occasions
driues
them
,
drie
and
safe
,
and
that
for
a
small
charge
,
which
otherwise
could
not
ride
on
horsebacke
,
or
trauell
on
foote
,
to
the
great
ease
and
benefit
of
many
of
the
Kings
subiects
,
and
profit
to
your
Petitioners
the
Waggoners
.
Where
on
the
contrary
,
not
any
can
be
so
convoyed
in
Carts
,
without
great
perill
and
danger
of
their
liues
,
by
reason
of
ouerthrowing
,
whereof
there
hath
been
lamentable
examples
of
certaine
persons
killed
neare
Ingerstone
,
to
the
griefe
of
the
subiect
,
and
losse
to
the
Waggoner
.
-
4.
A
waggon
may
be
guided
by
a
slight
and
engine
downe
any
steepe
hill
.
Where
on
the
contrary
a
Cart
cannot
,
and
therefore
is
not
fit
for
trauell
in
all
places
.
-
5.
If
a
waggon
be
set
fast
in
a
mire-pit
,
the
same
is
with
lesse
strength
drawne
forth
with
the
motion
of
foure
wheeles
,
then
a
Cart
can
be
with
two
wheeles
.
-
6.
A
waggon
with
foure
wheeles
hauing
a
loade
of
thirtie
hundred
weight
laid
vpon
the
same
,
will
make
a
lesser
cut
or
impression
in
the
ground
then
a
Cart
with
two
wheeles
,
hauing
but
twentie
hundred
weight
;
and
the
reason
is
,
because
the
thirtie
hundred
weight
lying
vpon
the
foure
wheeles
,
viz.
seuen
hundred
and
a
halfe
vpon
a
wheele
,
and
the
Carts
two
wheeles
bearing
ten
hundred
vpon
a
wheele
,
the
weight
of
ten
hundred
vpon
a
wheele
doth
cut
and
sinke
deeper
in
the
ground
then
seuen
hundred
and
a
halfe
.
-
7.
A
Cart
will
be
driuen
and
turned
aside
euery
way
,
and
so
search
out
and
run
ouer
the
whole
compasse
of
the
wayes
,
and
often
times
in
turning
short
,
doth
make
such
a
slough
or
cut
in
the
ground
,
that
a
loade
of
stones
will
scarce
fill
vp
the
same
pit
againe
.
Where
on
the
contrary
,
a
Waggon
cannot
turne
out
of
the
way
,
but
go
straight
outright
.
-
8.
It
is
a
hinderance
to
the
Waggoner
,
and
almost
a
double
charge
to
the
Merchant
or
trades-men
vsing
cariage
,
that
the
Waggoner
is
restrained
and
limited
by
the
said
Proclamation
,
that
he
may
not
carrie
no
greater
loades
in
the
Summer
time
,
when
the
wayes
are
impressible
,
then
in
the
Winter
season
,
when
they
are
almost
impassible
.
-
9.
For
that
since
the
cessation
of
Waggons
with
foure
wheeles
,
and
recourse
of
Carts
onely
with
two
wheeles
,
experience
shewes
it
to
be
true
,
that
the
roade
wayes
are
neuer
a
iot
bettered
or
preserued
,
but
rather
worser
and
impaired
:
therefore
and
for
the
reasons
aforesaid
,
your
Petitioners
do
humbly
pray
as
they
haue
prayed
.
-
Lastly
,
the
cause
of
the
foulnesse
and
badnesse
of
the
high
wayes
,
is
not
caused
through
the
recourse
of
Carts
and
Waggons
,
without
which
the
Common
wealth
cannot
be
,
but
for
lacke
of
due
amending
and
repairing
in
the
most
needfull
places
in
times
conuenient
.
