THE CASE OF THE Governours of the HOSPITAL at HOXTON , of the Foundation of ROBERT ASKE , Esquire . Anno Secundo Willielmi & Mariae , Regis & Reginae , &c.

BY Act of Parliament , the Master and Wardens of the Company of Haberdashers , are Incorporated and called Governours of the Possessions of the Hospital at Hoxton , in the County of Middlesex , of the Foundation of Robert Aske , Esq

THAT pursuant to the Founders Will , they have Built and Erected the said Hospital , and placed Twenty poor decayed Freemen , and Twenty poor decayed Freemens Sons , of the said Company ; where they have Maintenance and Provision .

THAT by Virtue of the said Act of Parliament , the Governours have placed Officers suitable to the Occasions of the said Hospital , viz. a Minister who Preaches , Reads Prayers , and Teaches the Children , a Steward or Manciple , a Matron or Nurse , and Servants to dress their Provisions , make Beds , Fires , &c.

AND in further pursuance of their said Trust , the Governours have purchased divers Lands , &c. for a Perpetual Fund to answer the Ends of the said Charity ; which amounts to the Yearly Value of 923 l. 8 s. 4 d.

THAT the Annual Charge of Supporting and Maintaining the Twenty poor Men and Twenty poor Children , with the Charge of the Minister , Manciple and Servants thereunto belonging , at a Modest and most Frugal Computation ; and other the Incident Charges belonging to the said Charity , does amount Yearly to the Sum of 383 l. 18 s. 4 d. so that the Surplus of the whole Revenue , does amount to but the Sum of 39 l. 10 s. over and above the Yearly Charge of Maintaining the said Charity .

THAT in regard the said Lands so Purchased as aforesaid , have hitherto been made liable to pay Taxes , it hath Yearly deducted out of the Annual Rent , the Sum of 150 l. for the payment of Taxes , &c.

Beside , THAT some part of these Purchased Lands are Lease-hold , and renewable every seven Years ; and upon every Renewal , pay the Sum of 200 l.

BY all which it appears the said Governours have only the Sum of 39 l. 10 s. to defray the loss of Rents , Repairs , and the standing empty of Farms , &c. which often happens .

Which necessitous Condition of the said Hospital , is with all Submission laid before this Honourable House , humbly craving that out of their Charitable Consideration they will be pleased for the future particularly to exempt their said Charity by Name , from paying of Taxes for the future , for otherwise the Governours will not be enabled by the Revenues arising from their said Lands , to Support and Maintain the Constant Charge that arises from the said Benefaction , &c.
