siderable Amount, is frequently given by Tradesmen and Shop-
keepers, and great Numbers of People residing or trading within all

contract with such Tradesmen and Shppkeepers Small Debts, which

although many of such Debtors are well able to pay their respective
Debts they often refuse to pay the same, by reason of which their
respective Creditors are either obliged to forego their respective
Debts,
or for the Recovery thereof to incur an Expence sometimes
far exceeding and in all Cases disproportionate to the Sum in dis-
pute : And whereas it would be a great Benefit to the Inhabitants
of the said Market Town, and the said several Parishes, Townships,
