"Mr Waite you have given me plenty of work this time. I have to attend this sessions 4 times a year, and summon all the jurors, and also to attend 2 times a year at York, and summon all the jurors, at my own expense; and the sheriff sends his own officers into this Liberty and takes away all emoluments of the office. I paid £10 for the appointment and am now above £20 out of pocket exclusive of subsistence, & I do indeed consider it a very peculiar hardship. You call it a Liberty, this is nonsense, when the sheriff comes and takes away all the privileges." |
