Clothiers.
Mr. Vaughan reports from the Committee to which
the Petition of the Clothiers was referred, That the
Committee had met; and examined the Matter of the
Petition; and heard the Parties concerned on both Sides;
and had thereupon proceeded to pass Two Resolves; viz.
1. That the Matter of Fact, in taking Hallage from the
Clothiers, above the ancient Hallage usually taken, since
the Proceeding of the House upon the Clothiers former
Petition, be specially reported to the House: And that
the Matter of Fact, which did appear to the Committee,
was, that the City had taken Hallage, beyond the ancient Hallage usually taken; demanding Ten-pence,
where the ancient Rate is but Eight-pence.
2. That it be reported to the House, That it is the
Opinion of the Committee, The increased Hallage is
unduly taken; and that the City ought to be satisfied
with the ancient Hallage usually paid before the late Act
of Common Council of the Fourth of December 1661.

in the Matter by them reported;
