To the mayor and sheriffs of London. Whereas a statute passed in the
last parliament held at Westminster that no mayor, bailiff, 'cachepol' or
minister shall intermeddle with the sale of any victuals brought for sale to
the cities, boroughs or other towns of England having fairs or markets,
provided they are of the king's friendship, so that those victuals may be
sold by those who bring them, without hindrance, and now the king has
learned that several victuallers, ingrossers and regrators, both inhabiting
that city and resorting thither, unduly interpreting the said statute and
seeking their own gain, unduly assess a certain price on all victuals brought
to that city, and will not permit them to be sold below that price, thus
extorting great sums of money, by which pretext victuals have become
much dearer than before the making of the said statute, and as it was not
the king's intention to augment the price of food by that statute, but
rather to diminish it; he orders the mayor and sheriffs to make scrutiny
upon the premises and if they find after taking diligent information that
victuals brought to that city for sale have been assessed at an excessive
price as aforesaid, then to cause such victuallers, ingrossers and regrators
to be duly punished and to cause such unreasonable gain to be altogether
amoved, so that victuals may be freely sold at a reasonable price by those
who bring them. The mayor and sheriffs shall so act that the king may
not hear any further complaint whereby he would have cause to punish
them, and they shall certify him in chancery from time to time of the
names of such victuallers, ingrossers and regrators. By C. |
