15. — A penalty should be inflicted on such Watchmen, as
are known to put up or take down Window-Shutters,
&c or doing domestic work for any person whatsoever
during Watch-hours.
16. — No presents, or Christmas-boxes should be allowed
to the Watchmen; but their pay should be adequate
to their labour.
17. — A certain number of respectable Parishioners (No. 7.)
should be appointed, as Constables, pro tempore, to
superintend the Night-Watch, — to march them, as a
Corporal's relief-guard, to their several stations, and
to preside at the Watch-House during the night. —
18. — Watchmen should be chosen from disbanded Sailors
or Soldiers, of good character; — their age to be
not younger than 30, nor ever older than 50; —
their dress should be jackets and over-alls, with
a light Horseman's helmet, (having a lamp in front)
and a hanger or cutlas; — but neither pole nor
rattle, as both of them are incumbrances. Instead
of a rattle, a Bell (like those used by the Dustmen) should be adopted, to hang by their sides till wanted;
and a strict prohibition against the use of Bells
by any other persons whatsoever. — When the hour
is announced by the Watchmen, they should not
make use of the word "Clock;" but say, "Past twelve,"
"Past one," or "Half past twelve," &c, &c.
