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

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

same Iustices And the great number of Maulsters to be reduced to fewer persons and such as haue other trades to liue by not to be permitted to vse Maulting That the Iustices vse all other good meanes possible that are not mentioned in these orders No waste of bread Corne superfluously nor any expense thereof but for feeding of people that the Markets may bee well serued and the poore relieued in their prouisions during this time of dearth And that no expense of any Graine meete for bread to feede men be wasted vpon feeding of dogges or other beasts neither that any bee spent in making stuffe called Starche None suffered to make Starch of any Graine as of late there hath bene discouered great quantity expended in that vaine matter being in no sort to be suffered to continue the rather also for that there are other things not hurtfull to the food of man that may serue for such purposes if such purposes at least were requisite That the Iustices be straightly commaunded to see by all good means Able poore people to be set to worke that the able people be set on worke in houses of Correction prouided and furnished and there idle vagabounds to be punished Stocks of money for prouision of workes for poore people That the Iustices doe their best to haue conuenient stockes of money or wares to be prouided in euery Diuision or other places according to the Statute for setting the poore on worke and the Iustices to vse all other good and politique meanes within their seueral Diuisions to continue and maintaine the poore people in worke within the parish or at the furthest within the Hundred or Diuision and namely in clothing Countreyes to charge the Clothiers Clothiers to continue their worke-folkes that haue in former times gayned by that trade not now in this time of dearth to leaue off his trade whereby the poore may be set on worke Souldiers hurt and impotent people to be relieued in their dwelling places That the maimed and hurt Souldiour and all other impotent persons be carefully seene vnto to be relieued within their seuerall Parishes Hundreds or Diuisions according to the Lawe therein prouided and that where the prouisions formerly made assessed vpon the housholders in euery Parish be not sufficient it may be now for this time of dearth charitably encreased And where any Parish is not able to giue sufficient reliefe to such their poore that parish to haue the supply of such other parishes neere adioyning as haue fewer poore and are better able to giue reliefe And no vagabonde or sturdie begger or any that may otherwise get their liuing by their labours bee suffered to wander abroad vnder colour of begging in any Towne fielde or high way and that the Iustices doe presently giue order that there be able persons appointed and sufficiently weaponed to assist the Constables of euery Towne to attache such vagabondes both in their Townes Fieldes and high wayes and to commit them to prison without bayle of any such but as two of the Iustices of the Peace within that Diuision shall order And if any Towneship shall not obserue this order for the attaching punishing of the said vagabondes then the Iustices shall set due punishment by fine vpon the whole Towneship or vpon such parties in the Towne as shall bee founde in fault Where in some partes of the Realme That no Millers be suffered to be common buyers of Corne nor to sell meale but to attend to the true grinding of the corne brought and to vse measurable tolle these deare seasons diuers Millers who ought onely to serue for grinding of Corne that shall be brought to their milles haue begun lately a very corrupt trade to be common byers of Corne both in markets and out of markets and the same do grinde into meale and doe vse as Badgers or otherwise to sell the same at markets and in other places seeking thereby an inordinate gaine besides the misusing of other mens Corne brought thither to be groūd by delay of grinding or that worse is by changing and altering of their good Corne to the worse It is thought very necessary that the Iustices of the Peace who are not owners by any title of any Milles nor masters or landlords to any Millers shal first inhibite al Millers vpon paine both of imprisonment and fine to vse any such trade of buying of any graine to be solde either in Corne or meale but to charge them to continue the orderly vse of grinding of all maner of Corne that shal be brought to them in reasonable good sort and vpon reasonable Tolle And for better performance hereof some of the Iustices not affectionated to the Millers shall sometime personally themselues resort to the mills to ouersee the doings of the said Millers compell them to doe their dueties And where none of the Iustices can as need shal be weekely looke thereto personally they shall appoint certaine honest persons weekely to attend thereto and to enforme themselues of the poorer sort howe they are vsed in this time of dearth for their grinding and their Toll and present the defaults to the Iustices to bee speedily reformed with all due seueritie Conferences to be had betwixt the Iustices of peace in the Shires and the principall officers of Cities and townes corporate for prouisions of Graine for the inhabitants in Cities and corporate Townes Item where there are within the circuite of any Shire or thereto adioyning any Cities that are incorporated as Townes within them selues or any other Townes incorporat that haue by good authoritie Iustices of Peace of their owne inhabitants for that commonly such Cities and Townes haue their greatest number of housholders that are no owners of graine but haue common Bakers and Brewers that must of necessitie buy and prouide their Corne or Meale at the Markets neere thereto to serue all other the inhabitants and resiants within the said Cities Townes For the prouision of all such Cities and Townes it shall be necessary that the Iustices of the Peace of the Shires next to the same Cities and Townes shal haue a meeting and conference with the head Officers of the sayd Cities and Townes howe and in what good manner the Bakers and Brewers and other householders that shall also haue neede to prouide Corne or Meale for the necessarie vse of the priuate housholdes may bee prouided at the Markets neere to the same And after due conference had hereof there shall bee by the Iustices of Peace and the foresaid head Officers some good orders set downe such as both may serue for the needefull vse of the same Townes and Cities and also may not by abuse giue cause of raising of prices in the Markets and Countries adioyning And where there shall be adioyning to the same Cities Townes or not farre distant diuers Shires as in many places such is the situation of them there some of 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 exemptâ—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 froÌ„ 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 at the least after the full of the market whereby others may be serued of their particular prouisions And then the Badger Baker and buyer to sell againe to take away the surplusage of the Market onely
