THE CASE OF THE Promoter of the Bill for Erecting a Court of Conscience for the Tower Hamblets, comprehended within the weekly Bills, of Mortality, etc.  
THat Mr John Cain, ancient Inhabitant, and yet living within the Tower Hamblets, for nigh fourteen years' last passed, hath concerned himself in endeavouring to obtain an Act of Parliament, for Erecting a Court of Conscience, for the  Tower Hamblets; and hath been at great Pains and Charge, and often, and manifold attendences, Soliciting for the passing a Bill, for the said Court of Conscience in the several preceding Parliaments, but by the sudden Adjurnments, Prorogations and Dissolutions of the said Parliaments, his endeavours miss of desired effect, to the Damage of the said Undertaker, who now upon a fresh encouragement, and the Request of several of the Inhabitants, of the aforesaid Tower Hamblets, the matter is brought to such an Issue.  
That the Bill lying before the House of Parliament, likely to pass into an Act, there being several Persons unknown, to the Undertaker, Petitioning and making their Application, to have their names inserted, as Clerk and Register of the Tower Hamblets, although they have not been at one Penny expense, nor taken the least Pains in the management of it, etc.  
The Undertaker doth humbly refer himself, to the Honour and Justice of this Honourable House, and hopes and prays, as a recompense, of his Trouble and Charge, and as an Encouragement for the future to others, to undertake things of the like nature for a public good, that he may obtain the name of Evan Christian, Barrister at Law, his Son in Law, to be inserted in the Tower Division, as Register and Clerk, he being a person of unquestionable Honesty and Integrity, and also sufficiently qualified for the said Office.
