TO THE HIGH COURT OF PARLIAMENT . The humble Petition of the Inhabitants of the severall Parishes of Clement Danes , Savoy , Covent-garden , Martin in the Fields , Giles in the Fields , and the Parishes and Places adjoyning in the County of Middlesex . SHEWETH ,

THat upon a Petition exhibited by the Justices of Peace of the said County of Middlesex , in pursuance of a former , from the Inhabitants and Free-holders of the same County to the late Parliament , upon a full debate before a Committee of the late Parliament , for regulating Markets , the 18. day of Ianuary , 1652. the said Committee did declare , that they conceived it would conduce very much to the Publique good , to have a Market in Clements Inne Fields , where Buildings usefull are erected for that purpose ; And did therefore order , that an Act should be drawne for the keeping of an open Market in the said place in Clements-Inne fields on every Tuesday , Thursday and Saturday in every week , and Mr. Hill and Mr. Letchmore , two of the said Committee , were desired to prepare the same , and present it to the Committee , to the end the said Act might be reported to the Parliament : And the Parliament did on the 4 ▪ of Febr. 1652. order , that the said Committee for Markets should bring in their Report , and the Act prepared by them for the said Market .

That a Bill being drawn and agreed on by Mr. Hill , and Mr. Letchmore , the 17. day of the said February , 1652. a Draught thereof was presented to the said Committee ( a Copy whereof is hereunto annexed ) and was read and ordered by them to be reported to the Parliament with all convenient speed by one of the said Committee : But by reason of other businesse , the same was not done sitting the Parliament .

Now , although the said Market having continued divers yeares , and found not prejudiciall to London or Westminster , yet for want of establishment , the countrey people suffer much , and many abuses creep in .

Your Petitioners therefore humbly beseech this High Court , That the said Market may be established and setled , according to the said intended Act , as this High Court , in their great wisdomes , shall think fit for the publique Good .

And your Petitioners shall pray , &c.
