Kettering

James Sumner & Joseph Dawkins, of Desborough, were both summoned for neglecting to pay their Poor's Rate. The latter had paid before he came, but sought to be relieved from the expenses, which were mitigated, though not entirely taken off. The former pleaded inability to pay, while the parish authorities thought he ought not to be exempted. He promised payment.
