Hildersley Hen. Smith Gilbert Barrell Reasons wherefore a New Market in Clements-Inne-fields should be established by Act of Parliament 1. FOR that there hath been within these 40 years last past so great an encrease of Building that the Inhabitants thereabouts are three times more than formerly 2. The place designed for the Market is very convenient near the Thames having the two Wharfs of Sommerset Yard and Milford Stairs so near adjoyning that it will be a very great ease and encouragement for the Country people both of Middlesex and Surrey to bring Mezle and other Marketable commodities by Water at a small charge 3. It is neere an equall distance between Newgate-Market and Westminster so that the Inhabitants of Martins in the fields Covent Garden Giles in the fields High Holbourn Chancery-lane Clement Danes and Savoy in the Strand may with much more ease then now they are be provided for And to those last mentioned places there is a great resort from all parts of the Nation both of Gentry and others by reason of the Parliament and Courts of Law and all Innes of Court and Chancery neere adjoyning so that those parts being so populous have often complained of the want and doe now earnestly desire the benefit of a Market there 4. The Market places both of Newgate and Westminster are so little that there is not roome for halfe the provisions that are needfull for so numerous a peoples use and the Country people for want of convenient roome and places for sale of their commodities are much discouraged and many constrained to take places at Inns which they pay dear for and thereby necessitated to sell their commodities at dearer rates And others bring their commodities to blind Ale houses and thereby have opportunity to vend stolne or unwholsome victuals and wares all which will be prevented if a Market overt be established 5. Many poore Tradesmen who notwithstanding their Freedoms of the City of London are necessitated to live in these parts for want of room and dwelling within the Freedome are necessitated to goe well-neere a Mile if but to buy two peny-worth of commodities to their great hindrance in their labour on which their livelyhood depends who will be very much eased by having a Market in the place aforesaid Object The City of London pretend that by Charter no Market is to be established within seven miles of London Reas 1. If they have such a Charter it cannot be pretended that can bind the Parliament if they think the establishing of this Market is for the publick benef●t 2. The Suburbs and places adjacent are now ten times as large as then they were and more numerous than the City 3. If such a Charter be it is against the freedom of the Nation 4. The opposers of this Market how the City of London seem to appeare in it are onely particular Inhabitants of London and Westminster who would draw all to themselves for their own private interests without respect to the publick that they may fell at what rates they please which by this means will be prevented 5. That the Markets of Brainceford Westminster and Somthwarke have been set up since they pretended Charters And the Petitioners hope that they that have adventured their lives and fortunes for the service of the Parliament and present Government as far as any other shall notwithstanding any opposition have this their just request granted being for publick good and no private interest Septemb. 1654
