To your worships' bench the humble petition of the Ministers, ruling Elders and other inhabitants of the Chapelry of Newton showeth, that whereas there have been granted forth several orders under some of your worships' hands for the suppressing of unnecessary alehouses, and the Ministers there and best of the congregation were required to signify what number were conceived meet to continue alehouse keeping and thereupon the said Ministers and others certified the same as they were required, yet some flighting authority, others under pretence of new licences still continue selling ale contrary to the desire of the Ministers and many others of the congregation that have certified against them. These are therefore humbly to entreat your worships to grant order to the Constables of the several Townships of the said Chapelry respectively that these alehouses following may be suppressed.
