WHEREAS it hath appeared unto us the said justices as well upon the complaint of the churchwardens and overseers of the Poor of the said parish Northmeols as upon the oath of the said Ann Taberner that the said Ann Taberner on the Second day of July now last past was delivered of a male bastard child at the parish of Northmeols aforesaid and that the said bastard child is likely to be chargeable to the said parish; and further, that John Wallace of North Meols in the said county Weaver did beget the said bastard child on the body of her the said Ann Taberner
And whereas the said John Wallace hath appeared before us in pursuance of our summons for that purpose but hat not shewed any sufficient cause why he the said John Wallace shall not be the reputed father of the said Bastard Child We therefore, upon examination of the cause and circumstance of the premises as well upon the oath of the said Ann Taberner as otherwise, do hereby adjudge him the said John Wallace to be the reputed father of the said bastard child.
And thereupon we do order, as well for the better relief of the said township of North Meols as for the sustentation and relief of the said bastard child, that the said John Wallace shall and do forthwith, upon notice of this our order pay or cause to be paid to the said churchwardens and overseers of the poor of the said parish or to some of them, the sum of one pound three shillings & Nine pence for and towards the lying-in of the said John Wallace and the maintenance of the said bastard child, to the time or making this our order.
