| Description | The Sheriffs are instructed to collect all fines and amercements, remitting none except with the permission of the Mayor for the time being, and two Justices (fine, £20). Slackness in collection of the fines has led to the non - observance of the Assize of ale and beer, non - appearance of jurors, and the general encouragement of offenders.
The Aldermen are reminded to inspect their wards regularly, and the Sheriffs are to make regular inspections of the whole City.
