A true and impartial narrative of some illegal and arbitrary proceedings

and to make her exemplary in suffering for that offence, Mr. Foster himself, being attended by his Public Notary, will see the Fine effectually levied upon her Goods; and indeed the same was effectually done; for (a Cart being provided for that purpose ) they distrained and carried away all the Goods in her House they thought worth their labour, as Tables, Cupboards, Chairs, Irons, Feather-beds, Blankets, the very Hangings of the Room, and the Sheets off her Bed, insomuch that the Widow was forced that night to borrow Sheets of her Neighbours to lie in, being not willing to lodge out of her own House, though invited by her friendly Neighbours ; nor did they leave her one Featherbed of her own (having ⟨p. 8⟩taken three away) whereon to spread those Sheets she borrowed, but she was forced to make use of a Bed and Bolster of another's, left in her House: It is true the Gentlewoman had more good Household stuff of her own, than was at this time found in her House; but foreseeing the Waste intended upon her, prudently secured the best of them abroad; and therefore cannot with safety possess them for her necessary use: And as for the value of those Goods taken away, it is supposed to be betwixt forty and fifty pounds. Yet the said Mris Tilney was more troubled at the crying and sighing of her poor Neighbours about her, (who were much affected with her sufferings, she being very charitable) than for the loss of her Goods, which she took very cheerfully. And so the Officers left her, having finished this days work.
