THE CASE OF Many Inhabitants of the Town of Chattham , in the County of Kent , many of which are Innholders , and Victuallers . To the Honourable House of Commons in Parliament Assembled .

THAT the said Inhabitants have from time to time as often as occasion hath been , Entertained Sick and Wounded Seamen , sent on Shore from the Men of War , during all the Time of the late War ; and have furnished them with all Necessaries for their Subsistence .

THAT the said Inhabitants have by such Subsistence run themselves into very many and great Debts with their Brewers , Bakers , Butchers , and other Tradesmen .

THAT the said Inhabitants are brought so very poor , that they cannot any longer give Subsistence to the said poor Seamen ; and the said Inhabitants and their Families must unavoidably perish , if not timely reliev'd ; several of them having been Arrested by their said Creditors , and others withdrawn for fear , having left their Families to Ruin .

Wherefore the said Inhabitants most Humbly beg , That this Honourable House would be pleased to take their miserable Case into Your serious Considerations ; and to give them such Relief therein , as Your Honours shall think convenient , that thereby they may be enabled still to supply the said Sick and Wounded Seamen ;
