D., the surveyor of the said turnpike road, to appear before us to show cause why the said statute duty called forth and applied by him to the repair of the said turnpike road, should not be withdrawn therefrom and applied to the repair of the other highways within the said [parish, &c.] and upon hearing the said C. D., and receiving an account of the revenues and debts of the said turnpike road, and of the state and condition of the repair of the said turnpike road and highway respectively; and it appearing to us, upon full consideration had thereupon, that part of the statute duty hitherto employed by the said [parish, &c.] for the repair of the said turnpike road may be conveniently dispensed, without endangering the securities for the money advanced upon the credit of the tolls thereof, and that such statute duty is wanted for the repairs of the other highways within the said parish; We, in pursuance of the power given to us by the Act passed in the 3d year of the reign of King George the Fourth, "For regulating turnpike roads," do order, that from and after the- - day of- - next, there shall be only [one] day's statute duty performed by the inhabitants of the said [parish, &c.] upon the said turnpike road within the same, and that the remainder of the statute duty shall be performed upon the other highways within the said [parish, &c.]

[If there are more turnpike roads than one, or the whole statute duty shall be thought fit to be taken away, this form must be varied to fit those cases; the summons to the surveyors will be very easily formed from this order.]
