— or provisional, indicating further
evidence —

Art. 7. And Whereas by reason of obscurity or uncertainty in such

evidence or by reason of prevarication in the same doubts may in the course of such
examination have arisen which said doubts if communicated to the parties interested
might by means of the local knowledge of such parties or otherwise be effectually cleared
up And Whereas in the course of such examination reasonable grounds might arise
for supposing the existence of other evidence, inasmuch as the facts deposed must if
true have been known to certain other persons so to be: at the same time that either
by reason of distance or for want of jurisdiction on the part of such Justices it may
happen that the evidence of such persons can not for the purpose of such examination
be obtained: whereby, although upon the face of such evidence as hath been received,
the said Justices may conceive themselves bound so long as such evidence remains single &
uncontradicted, to adjudge the Settlement of such prisoner to be in a certain Parish, yet
if the whole of the existing evidence could be heard it might according to the judgment
of such Justices it might turn out that in truth such Parish would not be justly
chargeable Be it enacted that in case of any such doubts as also in case of any
such prospect of counter or other ulterior evidence such Justices are required upon the
face of every such examination to report the same, as also thereto to subjoin any
observations which the said examination shall have suggested and which in their
judgments appear calculated to contribute to the full discovery of the matter of fact
in question, or to the establishing or disproving the veracity of the testimony on
which such their provisional adjudication hath been grounded: which said adjudication
may accordingly be stiled a provisional adjudication upon the face thereof.
