as haue sufficient to liue on or that are knowen to be of any common euil behauiour be not permitted to bee Badgers of Corne of which sort commonly the report is that there are too many No Iustices seruant to be a Badger nor none other but such as shal be licensed in open Sessions and therefore the same would bee remedied and foreseene Also that no Badgers be permitted but such as the Statute doeth limite and that no seruant of any bee licenced to be a Badger except sixe of the Iustices at the least shall in open Sessions for some necessary cause allow any such and that none at all be allowed a Badger except he be allowed in open sessions and not to bee as it is in many places abused for gaine of the Clerke of the Peace or a Iustices Clerke graunted without allowance of the rest of

with as much fauour in the prices as by the earnest perswasion of the Iustices can be obtained By this it is not meant to charge any Lorde of Parliament being a Iustice of Peace to attende vpon any such seruice in any Market otherwise then it shall bee with his owne good will but in all other causes tending to the execution of these orders it is hoped that euery person of any estate will readily giue aduise and assistance If there shall be any Hundred Rape Where Iustices are wanting in any Hundred for to appoint some rich persons to supply the want or Wapentake within the sayd Countie within the which or neere thereunto no sufficient number of the sayd Iustices of the Peace doe dwell or inhabit the sayde Shirife and foure Iustices of the Peace of that Countie shall in that case appoynt some other honest Gentleman or the high Constables vnder Constables or such other graue honest and substantiall persons not being Corne masters dwelling within the saide Hundred Rape or Wapentake as they shall by their discretions thinke conuenient to haue the charge in the execution of these orders there whome they shal also instruct how to execute the same diligently and vprightly That all good meanes and perswasions be vsed by the Iustices in their seuerall diuisions That ministers and preachers exhort the richer sort to be liberall to helpe the poore with money or victuall needfull and by admonitions exhortations in Sermons in the Churches by the Preachers and Ministers of the Worde that the poore may bee serued of Corne at conuenient and charitable prices And to the furtherance thereof that the richer sort be earnestly mooued by Christian charitie to cause their Graine to bee solde vnder the common prices of the Market to the poorer sort A deed of mercy that will doubtlesse bee rewarded of Almightie God That there bee no buying or bargeining of any kinde of Corne but in open Market but onely to poore Artificers and day Labourers as aforesaide and that the Iustices in their seueral Diuisions do in conuenient sort restraine common Maulsters of making Barlie Mault To make Mault of otes in countreys where there hath bene vse thereof in those countreyes and places where there be Oates sufficient to make Mault of for the vse of the people and to restraine as well the brewing of Barley Mault by or for Alehouses or common Tiplers in those Countreis and places as also the excesse vse of any kinde of Mault by all common Brewers Maulsters and common Tiplers according to the true meaning of this Article And that the oueraboundant conuerting of Barlie into Mault more then may serue for necessary vse be restreined And where it is informed that sundry Maulsters and others haue already engrossed taken into their hands great quantities of Barlie either to be conuerted into Mault or otherwise to make their profite of it by auauncing the prises thereof It is therefore ordered that the Iustices of Peace in their seuerall Diuisions shall vse all the care and diligence they may to finde out such Ingrossers and to examine them exactly how much of such kinde of Corne they haue already in their handes or haue compounded for and at what price and where it is And thereupon the said Iustices of the Peace to take order that so much thereof in Barley as shall bee thought fit in the discretion of the same Iustices be brought to such of the next Markets thereunto as the same Iustices shall assigne there to be sold to the poore people of the Towne and the Countrey adioyning by the sacke or Coombe or lesser quantitie and by no greater quantitie to any one person at such reasonable price and with such reasonable gaine as the same Iustices shall thinke fit And such as shal be found obstinate to obey this order to be bound with good suerties to answere the matter before the Lords of her Maiesties Priuie Counsel at some day to be prefixed by the

Iustices of euery Shire so adioyning or not farre distant shall vse such conference and take such orders with the saide Officers as afore is mentioned And in such cases the Iustices of euery such Shire shall be enformed mutually from the one Shire vnto the other of the needefull prouisions to be made from time to time for the said Cities and Townes so as euery Shire may proportionably yeelde reasonable succour and reliefe out of their Markets to the Purueyors or to the Bakers and Brewers as shall be requisite without burthening of the one more then the other may reasonably beare And if neede shall require the aforesaid principall Officers shall not refuse to acquaint the Iustices from whence the prouision shall bee bought and prouided howe such prouisions so had and bought in Markets are spent that by colour of such prouisions no abuse be committed to encrease the prices and so to leaue the poore vnable to be relieued If there bee any speciall part within any Shire Order for places exempt●d from the Iurisdiction of the Iustices of peace in the bodies of the Shires that hath as a libertie by speciall Commissions any Iustices of the Peace within the same the Shirife of the Shire shall send vnto the principall owner or Officer of such Libertie notice of these orders and shall charge them that the Iustices of the Peace within such Libertie doe their dueties for execution of al these orders as farre foorth as shall be requisite and therein also to vse by conference the aduise of some other Iustices next adioyning That no transportation of Corne or Victual be Regard to stay all transportation of Graine out of the Realme but from porte to porte within this Realme and that but in cases needfull as for the prouisions of London shipping or such like And that be done by the view and ouerseeing of her Maiesties officers of the Custome house of the porte where the same shal be laden or of the most part of them of the chiefe magistrates of the town in which that port is also of some of the Commissioners of the county in which that port is for that purpose assigned And that in such case good bonds with sufficient sureties be taken to her Maiesties vse for the deliuerie therof at the port to which the same shal be assigned And for bringing backe in conuenient time not only a true Certificate of the vnlading thereof at the same porte so assigned from her Maiesties officers of the Custome house of that porte to the Customer of the porte where the same was laden But also one other Certificate from the chiefe magistrate of the Towne of that porte where the same shal be assigned to be vnladen And frō some of the Commissioners of the Countie in which that Towne is for the purpose assigned vnto the Commissioners and chiefe magistrate of that porte where the same was laden of the due and iust vnlading thereof at the porte assigned And transcripts of those Certificates to bee made certified into the Eschequer in the beginning of euery Terme And if the Commissioners for that purpose assigned shall not doe their best endeuours to make stay of the transporting of Corne as by authoritie of their commission they ought to doe then any other Iustice by authority of these orders shal make stay of al such transportation and in his so doing shall be allowed maintained And this is thought meete to be in this sort directed for that it may be doubted that amongest so many as are appointed in the foresaid Commission against transportation some may be mistaken being themselues either transporters or friendes or fauourers to transporters or negligent in the execution of the charge committed to them Certificate to be made of the Execution of these Orders monethly to the Sheriffe and he to certifie the same to the priuie Councel within euery fourty dayes That the Iustices of the Peace doe once euery moneth certifie their doings and proceedings by force of these instructions vnto the Sheriffe of the sayd Countie in which certificate they shall also make certificate of such Iustices as shal be absent from any of these seruices and the true cause of their absence and shall also certifie the vsuall prices of all kindes of Graine in their markets for that moneth past Of all which the same Sherife shall certifie to the Priuie counsell without any delay so as he doe certifie once in euery fourtie dayes at the furthest and so as also the default in any Iustice that shall be absent without necessary cause may be duely considered and reformed by authoritie of her Maiesties Counsell as reason shall require whereby such persons as are placed as Iustices may not continue in those roomes wherein they shall be founde not disposed to attende such necessary and godly seruices as this is but that others of better disposition may supply those roomes if there shall be neede of any such number Speciall Inquirie bee made of those that are great hoorders vp of Corne and bring litle quantitie to the Market to the ende from such persons prouision may bee made for her Maiesties shipping other publique seruices as need shall require And if any shall offend against the true meaning of these instructions or of any part thereof or shall vse any sinister meane to the defrauding thereof that such be seuerely punished according to the Lawes and for such obstinate persons as shall not conforme themselues the Iustices shall at their discretion bind them to appeare before the Queenes Maiesties priuy Counsell by a day certaine there to be further dealt with by seuere punishment for the better ensample of all others ❧ Additions to the former Orders FIrst to take order that the multitude of Badgers and byers both of Butter Cheese as also of Corne to sell againe may in euery Countie vpon conference amongst the Iustices bee reduced to a competent number and those of the fittest persons for that purpose and the residue to be remooued That such of these Badgers and buyers as shall remaine be only permitted to make prouision to furnish the Markets of such Cities other great townes and places which otherwise are not able to be sufficiently prouided for of those prouisions in the countreys neere adioyning for that they are onely needfull for those places That the Farmer or Maulster be not permitted to sell to any such Badgers or buyer nor to any Baker or Brewer out of a market nor that any Badgers or buyers to sell againe be permitted to buy any Corne Butter or Cheese but in the Market Neither any Baker Brewer Badger or such buyer as aforesayd to sell againe bee permitted to buy in any market but two houres
