Excerpt from An Historical Memoir of Billerica, in Massachusetts: Containing Notices of the Principal Events, in the Civil and Ecclesiastical Affairs of the Town, From Its First Settlement to 1816 The inhabitants had previously adopted such regulations, as they conceived were calculated to ensure their domestic tranquillity. One respecting the admission of future inhab itants appears to hate been rigidly adhered to. It was agreed that all persons unknown to them, desirous of becobming inhabitants, should bring acertificate from the place whence they came, exhibiting such testimony as should be satisfac tory'to the town - that upon their admission as inhabitants, they should subscribe their names to all orders of the town, and bear their proportion of all public charges in church, town and commonweal. Among the other regulations which weresubsequently adopted, were the following: Any person, not qualified by law, 'wl'o should presume to give his voice or vote in any elections of the town, or interfere in any town alfa1rs, was-subject to a fine of five shillings, to be levied by_ the iconstable. Any inhabitant or proprietor, who should bring in, or entertain in'town any person as a ser vant, should give bondto the constable to secure the'town from all damage they might sustain by such servant. In case of refusal to give bond, a forfeiture of, twenty shillings per week was incurred. No'proprietor, possessing less than a ten acre privilege, should alienate any part of his right' to any person without consent of the town. But a person hav ing more than this proportion, might sell or dispose of a five acre privilege. Proprietors of not more than ten acre privi leges could not, without permission of the town, dispose of their privilege to any person, not even to their children, with out the town had refused to make them a grant.
