According to the document, '...by reason of the late abolishment of
the Bishop & deans' there were no constables sworn 'for many years
past'.
In terms of public order, I conjecture that the abolishment of the
Bishop & deans was then so inconvenient that the inhabitants might
have petitioned the court to point the new constables there. That
would lead to some questions I mentioned, 'when exactly did the
authority abolish the Bishop & deans there?'
