mediately, as the absence of the soldier from the housel
wherein he was billetted, has generally been found to
give ri.e to much irregularity, and frequently insubor-1

I Parliament. The Magistrate, Mr. Hostages, addressed
them generally, observing, it was not the wish of the
Adjutant to proceed against them harshly, he only re-
lquiring that the terms of the Act should be complied
with, therefore they were to 'understand, that under no
circumstance of inconvenience whatsoever was the
soldier billetted upon them to be lodged eat of the
house, and if they chose to give him money to provide
lodgings elsewhere, they acted illegally, and were liable
to a penalty. The licensed victuallers offered, in reply,

that they had the accommodation of the taproom,
whenever they were inclined to avail themselves of it;
and as many publicans actually had barely room in
their house, for their own families, were they to under.
stand that they n.ust be inconvenienced to comply with
lany such regulation? The Magistrate, in.. answer,
observed, their licences imposed the compliance of the
regulations, even at personal inconvenience, and any
'deviation in future vs ould bc visited by a penalty.
