RUMFORD, (Essex) 5 m. from Burntwood, 10 cm. 12 mm. from London, is a great thoroughfare T. governed by a bailiff and
wardens, who, tho' no corp. are empowered by patent, to hold a court every week, for the trial of treasons, felonies,
debt, or other actions, and for execution of the laws upon offenders. Here is a ch. sc. for 50 boys and 20 girls. The Ch.
here is only a chapel to Hornchurch. It has Mts. on M. and Tu. for hogs and calves, and W. for corn, most bought up for
London, and a Fair June 24. The road to Bury and Colchester, which used to be by Ongar, has lately been turned this way.
