THE CASE of the Innholders , Of the City and Liberty of Westminster , and of the Parishes of St. Giles's in the Fields , and St. Andrew's Holborn , in the County of Middlesex .

THAT the Innholders here in Town , being at much greater Charges for all sorts of Provisions and necessaries , and paying greater Rents by far for their Houses , than those living in the Country ; It was therefore thought reasonable by the late Queen ( of blessed memory ) who accordingly gave order that 8d . per night for Hay should be allowed and paid to the said Innholders living in Town , from each Trooper of the Earl of Oxfords Regiment , to be Quarter'd on them , the which said Order was confirm'd by his present Majesty since the Decease of his said Royal Consort .

Notwithstanding which several of the Officers will only pay the said Innholders 6d . per night for each Trooper , tho' they have the attendance of Servants as others , &c. to wait on them , and the use of Kitchens , Firing , Candle , &c. which proves a much greater Charge to the said Innholders than the 6d . per night allowed them .

That the Innholders did formerly provide all Oates as well as Hay for the Horses of His Majesties Guards that were Quarter'd with them as Guests , but now the Officers do provide Corn for the Troopers in the Inns , and make Granaries of their Chambers , and do thereby much Impoverish them .

That there are great numbers of Livery-Stables , for the most part kept in private places , who have most of them no Soldiers Quarter'd on them , Notwithstanding the direction of a late Act of Parliament in that behalf made : And that many of them have entertained Highwaymen , and Horses to Carry beyond Seas , and by reason of the retiredness of their Scituation , are more apt to harbour Highwaymen ( and their Horses ) and other ill affected Persons , than Publick Inns are or can be : And that most of them pay no Taxes nor bear any Office in the Parish ; whereas contrarywise the Innkeepers pay all Duties , and are at great Expences in serving of Offices and otherwise , whilst their dayly bread is taken from them by such as keep Livery Stables .

IT is therefore humbly pray'd that Care may be taken for the due Execution of the Act in force for the said Livery-Stables , to Quarter Troopers equally with the Innkeepers , and that such Troopers may be as Guest with them as formerly at 8d . per night , And that such further Redress may be given to the said Innholders in the matters aforesaid as shall be thought reasonable .
