Ordinance by Richard Whitingtone, the Mayor, and the Aldermen, with the assent of the Commons, enforcing by penalties the ordinance made during the Mayoralty of William Staundon, anno 9 Henry IV., touching vessels used by brewers being first marked by the Chamberlain's deputy to show their capacity.

Also, whereas it had been formerly established that no brewer, hosteler, huckster, cook, or piebaker, should sell a gallon of best beer within their houses for more than 2 pence by marked measure, and outside their houses for more than 1½d., many brewers, &c., nevertheless sell a gallon of best beer for 3 pence, 4 pence, and 5 pence, and by "hanaps," and not by the gallon, "potel," or quart duly sealed, and, further, they daily make and sell outside their houses, for 1½d., an inferior beer which they sell within their houses for 2 pence, contrary to the ordinance aforesaid-it was therefore ordained by the said Mayor and Aldermen in this present Common Council that those found acting contrary to the said ordinance shall forfeit their beer and vessels and be committed to prison, the informer getting half of the forfeiture.

It was also ordained that this ordinance might be amended by the Mayor and Aldermen in time to come, if it proved to be too rigorous.

Peticio Braciator' por recta Maiori et Alder mannis.

18 Jan., 7 Henry V. [A.D. 1419-20], petition to Richard Whitingtone, the Mayor, and the Aldermen, by all persons using the mistery of Brewers in the City praying them to amend the good ordinance made in the time of John Wodecok, (fn. 4) to the following effect :—

(1) That all "Coupers" be charged and sworn to examine all barrels and kilderkins of brewers and other customers, and to break up those that they find to be false, and to mark those that are true with their own marks entered and enrolled before the Mayor and Aldermen; and, further, that they be charged not to mark any barrel containing less than 30 gallons, or any kilderkin of less than 15 gallons.

(2) That brewers may be allowed to sell their ale retail in small measures, viz., gallons, "potels," and quarts, at 2 pence a gallon, as well within their houses as without.

(3) That in order that such measures should be just, the Masters and Wardens of the said Mistery be sworn before the Mayor and Aldermen to see that good and clear ale be sold by just measure at the price fixed yearly by the Mayor, or at a reasonable price at their discretion, and, further, that the said Masters present defaulters to the Chamberlain, and be punished at the discretion of the Mayor and Aldermen if they show favour or hate to any one, or be negligent in their duties.

Thereupon it was ordained that the ordinance made in the time of John Wodecok's Mayoralty should continue provisionally in force until Easter next, and then be further considered.

Folio ccxlv.

And as touching the first article of the petition, the same is agreed to on condition that Brewers incur the same penalties as "Coupers" if found using vessels that are not marked, and that they make a rebate for the dregs (les feces) of two gallons on a barrel and one gallon on a kilderkin, more or less, and incur the same penalty as is prescribed by the ordinance of William Staundone made anno 9 Henry IV., and lately con firmed by the last Common Council.

And as to the second article, to the effect that Brewers may sell by retail a gallon of their best ale, both within and without their houses, by the gallon, "potel," and quart at 2 pence the gallon, the Court refuses its consent, inasmuch as the selling of the best ale outside their houses by retail at 2 pence the gallon would be contrary to the order of the last Common Council, for they must sell their best ale, wholesale or retail, outside their houses at 1½d. the gallon The Court, however, was willing to modify the penalty imposed at the said Common Council in the following manner, viz., that instead of imprisonment and forfeiture of vessel and value of the ale at every default, the defaulter shall be amerced at the discretion of the Mayor and Aldermen, and this modification is granted on condition that brewers, hostelers, cooks, and piebakers sell their ale by full measure in sealed gallons, "potels," and quarts, and not by "hanaps," and do not charge more than 1½d. a gallon for their best ale (the same being sold at 2 pence a gallon within their houses) to any one wishing to have more than a gallon.

And as to the third article, touching the right of search, &c., by the Masters and Wardens, the said Mayor and Aldermen give their consent.
