Description | Former orders concerning the collection of fines, have not specified any set time in which the Sheriffs are to account; in future, they are to collect the fines and account for them within one month of receiving the estreat, (fine, £10 for refusing to accept the estreat, £5 for failing to account for any particular item, and imprisonment if they refuse to pay. The Mayor may then appoint others to collect the fines.). The Sheriffs are ordered to hold their courts regularly on the accustomed days (fine, £10, or imprisonment on refusal to pay.). |
