Fifth. That if any relief were given by the said Richard Cleave to the said John Buscombe as stated in his examination the same was given to him through mistake. Sixth. That the said order of removal and examinations are respectively bad on the faces thereof because it does not appear on the face of the said examinations or in the captions thereof or otherwise that the said Justices who made the said order had any jurisdiction for the making of the same or taking the said examinations inasmuch as it is not stated in the captions to the said Examinations that the parish of Saint Breock therein named is situate within the County of Cornwall and within the jurisdiction of the said Justices. Seventh. That the said Order of removal and Examinations are respectively bad on the face thereof, inasmuch as it appears in the captions to the said Examinations that the complaint therein set forth was made by the Churchwardens and Overseers of the Poor of the parish of Saint Breock to the said Justices but it does not appear in the Captions to the said Examinations and is not therein set forth that the said parish of Saint Breock is situate within the said County of Cornwall and within the Jurisdiction of the said Justices and it does not therefore appear in the captions to the said Examinations that the said Justices had any jurisdiction to receive the said complaint or to take the said examinations. Eighth. That the said Examinations on which the said order of removal was made are bad and defective in not setting out copies of the Probates of the Wills of Richard Worden and Samuel Worden produced respectively by William Williams on his Examination before the said Justices. Ninth. That you did not send to us by post or otherwise copies of all the Examinations and evidence on which the said Order of removal was made. Tenth. That you did not send to us by post or otherwise a copy of the Probate of the Will of one Richard Worden which Probate of Will is mentioned or referred to and set forth in one of the examinations on which the said Order of removal was made (to wit, the examination of the said William Williams) and which said Probate of the Will of the said Richard Worden appears in and by the same examination to have been produced by the said William Williams to and received in evidence by the said Justices who made the said Order of Removal at the time of the making thereof touching or in relation to the last legal settlement of the said John Buscombe Ann his Wife and their said six children. Eleventh. That you did not send to us by post or otherwise a copy of the Probate of the Will of the said Samuel Worden mentioned or referred to and set forth in the said examination of the said William Williams and which said Probate of the Will of the said Samuel Worden appears in and by the same Examination to have been produced by the said William Williams to and received in evidence by the said Justices who made the said order of removal at the time of the making thereof touching or in relation to the last legal settlement of the said John Buscombe Ann his Wife and their said six children. Twelfth. That in fact the Probate of the Will of the said Richard Worden was by the said William Williams produced to the said Justices who made the said Order of removal at the time of the making thereof and by them received in evidence touching the last legal settlement of the said John Buscombe Ann his Wife and their said six children but you did not send to us by post or otherwise a copy of the said Probate of the Will of the said Richard Worden.
