502 37 Case John William a respectable farmer in the parish of Clangepelach died some time ago insolvent leaving a wife and one daughter an Infant of the age of 3 years - William was a parent one of Clangepelach consequently his wife and child were parishanes of the mine name parish and on his death became changeable - on the death of his wife William the officers of the parish of Clangepelach took the child which they have supported ever since are allowed the wife to do the best she possibly could for herself - The officers having taken the child she went to the adjoining parish (Clanginke) and heread herself as a Grount continued her hiring for a year so as (had she been single) to have enabled her to gain a gettiement During her fever took she became pregnant but the end of the 12 months the officers of Clanginke removed her to Clangepelach - To this order no appeal has been ladged at the Quarter Septours held at Grispe will be tried at the entire parties superior at Groobridge. Mr Maule will therefore have the goodness to access Whether the Wadow having a child taken from her and supported by the parish of Clangepelach could gain a gettiement in the parish of Clanginke by hiring Service for a year so as whether the grat of Clangepelach forced her gaining still gettiement the being a married Morman. Whether the child was encountered sufficient to enable her to gain the gettiement? The state of W.W.'s known that "if any married man and his child an children" - that he had no been that gain a gettiement - The paper in this case an I explained enough either the meaning of the act had his band being had at the time of hiring & the only question is whether the meaning within the decentrism of "no hang child a children" - It has been decided that an encountered child does not become a gaining of a gettiement but I do not think that the child of this paper was 15 encountered as to allow her to gain a gettiement by hiring the man - The case of Mr Cowhorey became to be so been a very tiny one in this point, there a more than hand with a pretended power was not thought to be so encountered and to enable his letter to gain a gettiement. I think that a child supported by the married is the best encountered & that consequently the paper did not gain a gettiement by hiring of torrier Mr Maule Premium Off. 2001 & Late Mr Maule / Grou Mr Maule Dear Mark Cowhorey
