but the farmers of the said markets ( contrary to law and custome , as your petitioners humbly conceive ) have for some years past compelled some of them to pay , some s. some s. some s. a week , and some more , for their said sitting , which has occasioned many of your petitioners , not being able to pay their great demands , to be forced to abscond from the said markets , to the great impoverishment of them and their families ; and those of your petitioners who have still continued sitting in the said markets , are so much oppressed by their great exactions , that they are scarce able to keep them and their families in bread. and some of your petitioners having formerly refused to pay such great rates for their stalls and sittings , as have been imposed upon them , have been arrested and their goods seized , to their great damage and impoverishment ; some of them being country people , have been forced to comply to the said farmers demands , by reason they could not put in bail , being foreigners and unknown in the city . and others of your petitioners for some time past , by reason of the deadness of trade , having been unable to pay so great rates laid upon them , are daily threatned by the said farmers to be arrested , and their goods seized for their arrears , which if they do , must inevitably ruine them . and forasmuch as your petitioners have oftentimes sought relief from the lord mayor and court of aldermen of the city of london , and particularly delivered a petition on the th . of march , . and thereupon had a hearing before a committee , appointed to hear their grievances ; but your petitioners having no redress ; may it therefore please this honourable house , to take the premisses into consideration , and to grant your petitioners hearing , that so thereby they may not hereafter be burthened in the like kind , but may have their former customes and priviledges restored . and your petitioners shall ever pray , &c. hamlet toone rich. farley john swelgrove james bayly john lillee henry hamman george fane john mainer john bishop john linley theophilus piffs bernard serjant william morris walter watters robert tate james ray william weaver . richard cowderey thomas daves michael turpin mary wright john newe thomas perkins aaron withers joseph tothill edward roakes richard roakes richard collman john flowers george flowers richard mills john preston john gunter edward barrett richard breadcutt john bonsey joseph hollemoor charles trigge henry hunt widdow sherman widdow linkhorn widdow delaney widdow thoarp william springall widdow gibson ann bannister henry bartholocmen thomas hipwell mich. wheeler ann linsey joseph homes christopher jone widdow hooker william sedgley edwrrd oakley john ruffe widdow cobb henry blewman ann batt james whicheloe frances thomas with hundreds more not mentioned . an account of some of the particulars of the grievances herein mentioned , viz. butchers grievances . daniel mofen paid formerly s. d. a week . now is compelled to pay s. a week , and l. a fine . john mofen paid formerly s. d. now s. d. and l. fine . sarah chambers widdow , formerly s. d. now s. and l. fine . william child formerly s. d. now s. and l. s. fine . robert tatt formerly s. now s. and l. fine . and the persons following , with many more , can prove , that they never was demanded to pay any fines ;

of the cittie of oxford , inhabiting in , or neere the said corne-market , haue lately of their owne will , without any approbation from vs , or our vice-chancellour , taken vpon them to keepe and set forth on market-dayes , publique bushells and measures , for the measuring of corne and graine , and take tole for the same , without stint or limitation , sometimes a pint and halfe , and sometimes a quart for the measuring of a bushell , whereas the ancient and laudable due is , but the quantity of a quarter of a pint at the most for such measure : and also that diverse malsters , bakers , and brewers , doe keepe in their private houses two bushells , a bigger wherewith to buy , and a lesser to sell , whereby the country people that bring in their corne and graine to the said vniuersitie , are deterred to furnish the said market , in regard that the measure of graine , will not hold out fully with the said great bushells . we therefore for the future prevention of the said inconveniences , and for the better governement of the said market , that there bee no fraud vsed , doe by these presents , straightly prohibite the inhabitants of the vniuersitie and cittie of oxon , and all others resorting to that market , from keeping and setting forth any publique bushell , or any other measure , or to receaue any tole or profit for the same : and also all malsters , bakers , and brewers , from keeping in their houses , any more then one lawfull and sealed bushell , by which they shall sell , as well as buy . item that to provide a sufficient and convenient remedie for the premises . we haue by our letters pattents vnder our seale , appointed christopher divall inhabitant within the said vniuersitie , to looke vnto the cleansing , and sweet keeping the corne-market-place , and to provide a competent and sufficient number of bushells , and other measures , to be approued and sealed by vs , or our deputies the clerkes of the market , to measure the corne and graine brought to the said market , and to take and receaue the iust and due tole for the same , viz : a quarter of a pint for every bushell and not aboue : and we will and require , that no buyer or seller , or inhabitant within the vniuersitie or cittie of oxon , not exempt from paying of tole , doe hinder , denie , or molest , him the said christopher divall , in the due and lawfull execution of the said office , and taking the said tole vnder penaltie to be punished , as contemners of the priviledges and liberties of this vniuersitie , and the government of the same . item it shall not be lawfull for any hucster , liuing and inhabiting within the vniuersitie or cittie of oxon , and suburbs of the same , or any other person whatsoeuer vnder colour of buying , keeping or making provision for any colledge or hall of this vniuersitie , or for any other person whatsoeuer priviledged or not , or vnder any other pretence to buy , obtaine , or get into his hands or

againe in this market , or within foure miles thereof , or to dispose of the same otherwise then for his owne vse and spending . and because hucsters haue proued the baine of the market , and their cunning devises by any former rules and orders heretofore published , haue not beene sufficiently met withall : we doe therefore hereby straightly prohibite , all and every hucster aforesaid , from bringing or placing their wares , victualls , and provisions , though bought without the foure miles afore mentioned , to be sold in the common market-place , viz : vpon or neere carfox , or penny-loes-bench , but that they keepe and containe themselues for the vttering their said wares and provisions in one proper place , to be appointed and assigned from time to time , by vs or our deputies , which place for the present we appoint and assigne , to be vnder the west-wall of christ-church , betweene the great gate thereof and carfox , only so farre as that wall reacheth . and in case any hucster aforesaid , shall presume to place his said wares and provisions , or put the same to sale elsewhere , then in the place formerly appointed & assigned , ( viz : ) vnder christ-church-wall , or shall otherwise breake or violate any part , or clause of this article ; for every time so offending , he shall incurre the penalties of the statutes of this realme in that behalfe provided , and be farther proceeded against as a contemner of the liberties and priviledges of this vniuersitie , and the government of the same . item whereas the greedie , and over hasty coveting of victualls in the buyer , hath beene a great meanes to encourage , and cherish hucsters , it shall not be lawfull for any person or persons whatsoeuer , to buy of any hucster any manner of provision aforesaid , elsewhere then in the place formerly appointed and assigned by vs , nor before the same be brought and placed there openly to be sold , vpon paine of forfeiting for every such said offence , tenne shillings , and farther to be punished for contempt . item that if any butcher , baker , brewer , poulterer , cooke , manciple , fruiterer , hucster , or any other person whatsoeuer , shall be convinced to conspire against any article , clause , or branch of this proclamation , whereby the same may not be duely executed according to the true meaning thereof , then every such conspiratour so convinced , shall be punished according to the lawes and statutes of this realme . and to the intent that every man to whom it appertaineth might know his dutie , and not by ignorance thereof , incurre any of the said penalties , we doe straightly charge and command , that no manner of person whatsoeuer , doe rent , teare , or pluck downe , or any way deface this proclamation , or any parcell thereof , but shall suffer it continually to remaine in his place , vnder paine of imprisonment , and such other punishment , as shall be thought fit to be executed , vpon all and every the transgressour of this commandement . god save the king . ¶ printed at oxford , by iohn lichfield , printer to the vniversitie , anno dom. m. dc . xxxiv . wednesday, the th day

ascii text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable xml (tcp schema; characters represented either as utf- unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless xml (tei p , characters represented either as utf- unicode or tei g elements). keying and markup guidelines are available at the text creation partnership web site . eng markets -- law and legislation -- england -- london. london (england) -- history -- th century. - tcp assigned for keying and markup - spi global keyed and coded from proquest page images - mona logarbo sampled and proofread - mona logarbo text and markup reviewed and edited - pfs batch review (qc) and xml conversion houblon blazon or coat of arms mayor . wednesday , the th day of august , . at a committee of common council , held for the publick markets of the city of london . whereas this committee hath received information , that the farmers of the publick markets have exacted and extorted greater sums of mony from the market-people , than by the laws of the city , or the covenants of their lease , are allow'd : and have committed many other irregularities , to their great oppression , and the scandal of the government of this city . now to the intent that the rates allowed , as aforesaid , to be taken in the markets , may be ascertained and made publick to all market-people , and the said farmers of the markets may be prevented for the future from demanding , exacting or receiving more than is allowed ;
