XII The Abstract of a Proclamation against Importation of Iron Wier dated 7 Maii An. 6. CAR. I. 1. WHereas Iron Wier is a Manufacture here and by that Trade many thousands were maintained c. 2. And whereas Our English Wier is of better use then any Forein Wier especially for making Cards for Wooll c. as by several Certificates c. And whereas sundry Complaints have been made c. Therefore 3. Well-weighing the danger and prejudice and finding that sundry good Laws and Statutes have been formerly made against Importation thereof By the advice of the Privy Council We do streightly charge and command all Persons from attempting to import into England or Ireland c. any Forein Wier or Cards made of Forein Wier c. upon pain of Forfeiture c. 4. Commanding that which shall be forfeited be carried to the several Custom-house where they are seised without selling or compounding c. upon pain c. 5. Commanding all Officers attending our Customs to forbear to make Entries or Compositions for any the same Forein Wier c. but to seize the same as forfeited to the Uses hereafter specified c. 6. And whereas there hath been one evil use in buying old Cards and trimming them up and selling them for new ones to the prejudice of the Cloth trade therefore commands all

man that maketh any Title to any mans Ground contrary to Right and it be tried by the Law he that is cast shall pay two Shillings for the twelve mens Dinners and if he will not pay it then the Burghmaster shall take so much Oar of him as cometh to two Shillings or else some other Distress if he be worth so much 7. Not to be amerced Also that no Miner shall be amerced by the Burhmaster without lawful Warning 8. That no man shall mete without the Kings Dish for if he do and be so taken if it be above a Load of Oar the Load of the Field shall have it and if it be under a Load the Burghmaster shall have it if it be taken meting besides the Dish if he do not call for the Kings accordingly 9. Concerning Oar debt Also that no man shall sue any Miners for any Oar Debt forth of the Barmote Court nor no Officer shall serve a Writ nor Warrant upon any Miner when he is at his Work upon the Mine nor when the Miner cometh to the great Leets of the Barmote but the Burghmaster or his Deputies and if any man sue for Oar Debt forth of the Barmote Court he shall lose the Debt and pay the Costs 10. How the Courts ought to be kept Also the Burghmaster shall keep two great Courts every Year and if need be or require every third Week a Court upon pain of 3 s. 4 d. 11. Also if any Miners by the Grace of God find any new Rake or Vein If a new Field be found the first Finder shall have two Meers and the next Meer after the Burghmaster shall have for the King according to the old Custom of the Mine and every taker after but one Meer and so the Field to be occupied according to the Right and Custom 12. Also by the old Custom Miners ought to have Wood of the Kings Woods to stow and timber their Groves under the Earth and above Why Lot paid and therefore they pay lot to the King for which they ought to have sufficient off the Kings Grounds that is next thereto 13. Also if there be any man slain or murthered upon the Mine upon any Grove neither Escheator or Coroner nor any other Officer shall meddle therewith but onely the Burghmaster 14.

Also we say A Ground measured freed by the Oar there gotten that the Burghmaster shall not measure any mans Ground untill such time as the Mine hath Oar gotten within the same Ground to free it with or else it shall not be measured 16. The buyers not to touch the Dish Also that no Merchant buyer of Oar shall touch the Kings Dish nor put his Hands therein to make his Measure but the Burghmaster or his Deputie shall be indifferent between the Merchant buyer of the Oar and the seller 17. Also that no man that is a Workman Her Imposition to work Claimer take his course by Law that doth work his Ground truly there shall no man come to claim his Ground and take him up to stop the Field but the first Workman shall work and the Claimer take the Law and the Burghmaster shall do him the Law truly 18.

Against Maintainance touching Groves in variance Also we lay a Pain that no person shall at any time from henceforth go to any Gentleman or other man for to give or sell any Groves or Grounds in variance for Maintainance and every person so doing to lose his said Grove or Grounds and the taker of any such Groves in variance as aforesaid to forfeit 10 l. to the King 21.
