2 Case relative to the Tothill Fields Bill.

& designs, have a right to place themselves, and in any numbers,
without being liable to be warned off, and deals with as
Trespassers, as they might be if it were private ground.

From this circumstance, added to that of its comparative

Hall, it would afford (especially since St Georges Fields has been
so much overspread with Buildings) the readiest place of
Meeting, for any enterprize of insolence or hostility, against

[and St Johns incorporated as to divers purposes by the 25 Geo:
2d. Cap: 23)] as also to the under Keeper of the Waste, appointed by the Keeper who is appointed
by the Dean and Chapter of Westminster.

The Dean and Chapter of the Collegiate Church of
St Peter at Westminster being Lords of the Liberty of Westminster, stand
