Worship in the churches and this
lied TO the appointment OF OFF,

These individuals, sometimes
men. sometimes women, were
paid and had the responsibility OF
driving the dogs from the house
Of worship. II is said that the
dog tax did not come into exist
ence until 1895 and that may eX-
plain why the CANNES were so
plentiful - and troublesome on
the Sabbath day.
The custom in old England
was 10 have a church in each
